Innocent dog walker punched by farmer over sheep worrying allegations

I can see both sides - the farmer was angry because his sheep had been worried and he saw a man walking with two dogs nearby. He should have gotten his facts straight though.

Hmmm, I sympathise with any farmer whose sheep are worried by dogs, but they have to stop jumping to conclusions & blaming every dog & every dog walker for the problem!

And perhaps should resolve his conflicts without resorting to violence! Far more likely to get somewhere with it.
