Dog owners have been warned that they could face prosecution or their dogs could even be killed if they do not abide by sheep worrying laws as the local lambing season looms.
Local area commander Chief Inspector Tom Leonard’s statement aims to “remind dog walkers of their responsibilities” and to keep pets on a lead when near sheep.
The police warning comes days after an Auchterarder farmer was left horrified after witnessing her pregnant sheep being chased by an out of control dog that managed to get into her field.
