Because of the gloomy, rainy weather we’re waking up to today, we thought we’d try to brighten your morning with this beautiful sunset over Hungerford Common, captured a few days ago. 🌅
A lovely reminder that brighter skies are never too far away!

⚠️ An important reminder for everyone using Hungerford Common
Earlier this week, cattle on the Common were chased by a medium-sized black dog. We have reason to believe this may not have been the first time.
The incident left the cattle terrified. They ran at speed along the main road, making an extremely distressed noise and creating a serious risk to themselves, motorists and everyone else using the Common.
We completely understand that dogs can sometimes react unpredictably around livestock. However, if your dog is likely to chase the cattle, please keep them on a short, secure lead at all times. Alternatively, we kindly ask that you choose another place to exercise your dog until the cattle leave the Common towards the autumn.
This isn’t about telling anyone off—it’s about protecting the welfare of the cattle and keeping every Common user safe. A similar incident simply cannot be allowed to happen again.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

The owner had kindly let us know that it was a huge accident. Their dog managed to slip their lead and it won’t be happening again. A new lead and collar on order! Thanks all for always doing their best to keep the cattle safe.
There is now a law around keeping dogs on leads and under control around livestock and grazing animals, with option of prosecution as well as on the spot fines of up to £1000. Perhaps that option needs to be explored. There's no excuse not to have your dog in a lead around other animals. I'm glad none of the cows were injured, hopefully it won't happen again.
At this stage in the season the cattle are generally much more accepting of people & dogs and they’re pretty chilled. It doesn’t mean you can take your eye off the ball. please keep the cows safe. 
Poor cows.
Reminds me of when the lads on bikes thought it fun to haras the poor cows a few years ago. Fast moving terrified cows charging round and round the common. Just dreadful. Hope you're not having those idiots about this year.
The owner is always so reasonable and polite. People with dogs seem to think they own the place and let’s face it SOME are IRRESPONSIBLE. I know this comment will upset the responsible owners but I get so annoyed when I read of these incidents.

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
