Operation Recall: New initiative aims to tackle livestock worrying

A new initiative aimed at educating the public on the impact of livestock worrying could be rolled out across the UK following a successful trial in Cheshire.

Operation Recall - which aims to prevent future incidents of dog attacks on livestock - was launched by Cheshire Police, the RSPCA and Naturewatch Foundation.

The scheme began as a local initiative in Cheshire, but could now be rolled out to other police forces nationally with the support of the newly established National Rural Crime Unit.

An educational video has been provided to police forces across the country to use as part of restorative justice after a dog attack has occurred.
