NFUS asks for harsher penalties for people who let their dogs attack livestock.
NFU Scotland is seeking harsher penalties for people who let their dogs attack livestock, after an Argyll man appeared before the sheriff court.
Nicholas Rowley, of East Princes Street in Rothesay but formerly of Lochgilphead, allowed four dogs he had responsibility for to seriously injure and kill a total of 17 sheep on farmland near Inveraray on March 4 this year, leaving the farmer with damages of around £4,100.
