As a livestock owner, the need and function of livestock guardian dogs is essential to successfully operating my farm. This bill is significant government overreach to take action against the small number of people who do not properly contain their livestock guard dogs or train them effectively. We have put countless time dollars into proper training and support to ensure our farm runs a quality operation in the interest of protecting our assets - the livestock. While our farm is on more than 10 acres and the bill exempts us from much of the government overreach, I am opposed to this for the sake of other farmers who are operating on smaller parcels. This is another bill that impedes farming and negatively impacts livelihoods of so many New Hampshire residents.
