The Manx National Farmers’ Union (MNFU) has launched a public survey seeking views from dog owners on the issue of sheep worrying.
The survey, created with the agreement and support of the National Sheep Association, is adapted from the NSA’s 2026 version to focus specifically on the Isle of Man. It runs alongside a separate MNFU survey for farmers on the impacts of the problem.
The union said: “In the MNFU Office we love our dogs, and we want to hear from the other dog owners to gather public views.” The aim is to use data from both perspectives to inform a review of existing legislation.
The survey can be accessed here.
