Concerns over increase in sheep attacks
The incident comes just weeks after a Fife farmer was left “devastated” when 17 of his lambs died following a suspected dog attack.
Concerns have been raised by Perthshire farmer turned MSP Jim Fairlie that livestock worrying is becoming a huge problem after an increase in people buying puppies during Covid.
A spokesperson for Police Scotland said: “A 26-year-old man has been arrested and charged in connection with worrying livestock after 93 pregnant ewes were chased by a dog in Auchterarder.
“The incident happened on Thursday, March 16, on Duchally Road.
“A report will be sent to the procurator fiscal.”
