  Fines are different than restitution

    (22 + 48) * 250 = £17500 ($22,091) is roughly the cost of the sheep, that's not calculating time/food cost put into the flock already, some were pregnant. Likely a total loss for the farmer, dog owner is a scumbag, ban bully breeds IMO.

      The article states £14000

      Generally those kind of valuations are calculated on cost of 1:1 replacement.

  I wonder if thats more of an insurance thing? Like the farmer would claim and the insurance company goes after the dog owner for the money

    And then farmer gets stiffed with increased insurance premiums. I really hope that’s not how it works.

    Hopefully the farmer can directly sue the owner for actual and emotional damages with Farm insurance covering the legal costs.
