Pick it up before you kill livestock

Leaving your dog mess in fields is a risk to livestock.  Farmers have enough worry with you killing their animals and causing abortions.  This mess was found on Saturday afternoon in a field with sheep in it.

Dog faeces can pose significant risks to livestock, particularly when they are contaminated with infectious sporocysts. These sporocysts can cause serious health issues in cattle, sheep, and other livestock, leading to conditions such as fever, anorexia, and even death. The spread of neosporosis, a disease caused by these sporocysts, can result in abortions and other health problems for affected animals. To prevent these risks, it is crucial to ensure that dogs are kept under control and that their faeces are properly managed.

Through remarkable personal stories, guests explore everything from burglary and street crime to cyber fraud, romance scams and coercive control, with practical advice to help keep people safe.

·  Penny Smith discusses the impact of being burgled twice and how those experiences affected her.

·  Bobby Seagull MBE reflects on community life in London and his experiences of street crime and attempted phone theft.

·  Becky Holmes, author of Keanu Reeves Is Not in Love With You, explains how she became known for exposing online romance fraudsters.
