Farm leaders and the Police are urging people to keep their dogs under control while visiting the countryside.
Farmers’ union NFU Scotland has teamed up with Police Scotland to urge dog owners to keep their animals under control when visiting the countryside.
The plea comes ahead of an expected surge in visitors to the countryside once Covid-19 restrictions begin to ease – the same time as calving and lambing on many farms across the north and north-east.
NFU Scotland (NFUS) regional manager for the north-east, Lorna Paterson, said farmers were still experiencing the “devastating impacts” of dog attacks on livestock despite repeated pleas for people to keep their dogs under control.
