Damaged gate.

Damaged gate.

Generally agreee but, the farmers income funds are distorted. They don't mention free housing, electric, cars, fuel etc. These are all provided by the business.

Wolves aside, it's clear that something serious needs to be done about dog ownership in the UK.

It's one of those rare areas where landowners, farmers, outdoor recreation sector bodies, and environmental orgs all sing in unison.

Regulation is way overdue, and fines are no deterrent at all.
