Police launch probe into alleged repeated dog attacks on sheep at Scots farm

reference 2750 of August 10

Police Scotland

Police are appealing for information in connection with a string of sheep-worrying incidents at a farm in Killin.

On Wednesday, August 10, police were called to Kinnell Farm, to the south of the River Dochart, after a lamb and a ewe were found injured.

The ewe eventually had to be put down.

Officers were also informed about an earlier incident on Sunday, July 31, where a lamb was found injured in a field at the same location. Earlier this month, we told how the horrified farmer discovered the family pet with gruesome injuries, which they suspect was the result of a possible dog attack.
