Lambs and Sheep under attack

http://www.thewestmorlandgazette.co.uk/news/9642529.Fury_after_more_sheep_are_attacked/

People in the more rural areas tehnd to let their dogs roam and thus farm animals suffer.
"Why do non dog owners always have to say dogs should be keep on a lead at all times??? Yes they should always be on a lead in busy areas and around livestock, but keeping dogs on leads at all times is a never a good idea. They need exercise and to run around freely. Without the ability to excercise the dogs will naturally become more aggressive due to all the pent up energy. How would humans like to be keep on a lead and never allowed to execise?!? All that is needed is a little bit of common sense with regards to your surroundings."

Well dogs need exercise, yes. But you don't just open your door and say, "come home when you're done." If you don't have a fenced area where they can run around, get out of the house and supervise their exercise.
