Rottweilers Maul Alpacas, UK Law Fails to Protect

On April 3rd, two Rottweilers went on a rampage at a farm in Wisbex and Mary, Cambridge

Shire, in the early hours of March 24th, Mauling 6, Alpacas.

Four of them died on the spot while the two survivors needed urgent vet care for serious

spatial wounds.

This hit just days after the dog's protection of livestock amendment act of 2025 kicked

in, finally adding Alpacas and llamas to the protected livestock list under UK law.

Poles are hard-broken, with folks like Chrissy McClusky calling it so awful and Maxine

Law saying it's so very sad.

The farmer and even the dog owner have been cooperating with police amid the distress.

Officers from the rural crime action team seized the dogs right away and launched an investigation

into livestock worrying, which is straight up.

Police are reminding dog walkers to keep pets under control and on leads near farms

while urging farmers to post clear signs at CCTV and use.

Public fencing to prevent more heartbreak like this.
