News and entertainment website LADbible has been condemned by a police team in North Wales for sharing videos of dogs chasing livestock. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

A compilation video was shared on the website’s Facebook page on Wednesday, along with the caption “Some dogs just love to cause trouble 😂 ❤️” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

It features dogs chasing sheep, cows and deer, as well as offering to pay people £100 to send in their own videos of their “naughty” pets. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The video has attracted more than 5,000 comments with some people accusing LADbible of encouraging the illegal scaring of livestock to raise its viewing figures. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Members of the North Wales Police Rural Crime Team said they were “appalled and disgusted” that the site was making light of livestock worrying. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

They added they would be investigating any offences identified. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

In a post on Twitter, officers said: “We have been made aware of a certain online site asking people to send in their videos of dogs misbehaving. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“The compilation shows dogs chasing livestock. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We are appalled and disgusted, that people see this as entertainment ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We are investigating these offences.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
