Dear {FIRST_NAME}

Unfortunately, there have two instances of livestock worrying reported in West Lothian in the last week.

On 9th of April, a dog was seen to worry livestock in a field near to Torphichen. The owner of the dog has since been traced, charged and relevant reports will be submitted.

About 1320 hours on 5th of April a Spaniel dog was seen to attack livestock in a field near to Guthrie’s Path, between Witchescraig and Beecraigs Country Park.
