answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>There is a range of measures available to the police and local authorities to prevent or respond to dog attacks on livestock. The Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 makes it an offence to allow a dog to be dangerously out of control and this includes in and around livestock. In addition, the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 makes it an offence to allow a dog to worry livestock. The Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 includes specific powers for police and local authorities to take action before a dog becomes dangerously out of control by issuing a warning notice for low level dog related nuisance. The table below provides the number of people prosecuted under the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 for allowing dogs to worry all types of livestock, including sheep, in the last five years for which figures are available. Prosecutions have been made under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 but data is not centrally held on the circumstances of how the dog was dangerously out of control.</p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953</strong> <strong> </strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Grand Total</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Prosecuted</strong></p></td><td><p>50</p></td><td><p>51</p></td><td><p>47</p></td><td><p>47</p></td><td><p>37</p></td><td><p>232</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Macclesfield answering member printed David Rutley grouped question UIN 242656 242657 question first answered 15/04/2019 15:46:26 answering member 4033 label Biography information for David Rutley
