Officers appeal after sheep worrying in Stirlingshire

Date of alert:

Sunday, 14 August 2022

Crime Ref:

Force:

Police Scotland

Officers in Stirlingshire are appealing for information after reports of sheep worrying in the area.

On Wednesday, 10 August, 2022, police were called to Kinnell Farm, Killin after a lamb and a ewe were found injured. The ewe later had to be put down. Officers were also informed about an earlier incident on Sunday 31 July where a lamb was found injured in a field at the same location.

Enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances. One line of enquiry officers are considering is whether dogs could be responsible and with that in mind they would like to remind dog owners and those walking dogs in the countryside to keep animals under control.
