Warning as sheep attacked by dog
Date of alert:
Saturday, 11 February 2023
Crime Ref:
Force:
Police Scotland
Safer Communities Fife highlighted an incident in Kirkcaldy on Monday when a sheep was targeted by a dog.
The community safety team stressed: "No matter how well behaved your dog is, you can never guarantee that your dog won’t run off chasing after sheep on an off-lead walk.
"Many dog owners are unaware that even if their pet doesn’t make contact with a sheep, the distress and exhaustion caused by being chased can trigger a pregnant ewe to die or miscarry.
