East Lothian local rushes to help as baby swan left 'screaming' in dog attack

East Lothian residents have hit out at dog owners across the community after a group of baby swans, known as cygnets, have been removed by the SSPCA due to domestic animal attacks.

52-year-old Karen Turnbull, who suffers from multiple sclerosis, spoke to Edinburgh Live today about the sadness among the community when they were notified of the removal.

Posting on her own Facebook page, Karen wrote: "Had to say a sad farewell to the Cygnets on Levenhall pond today after having to call the SSPCA to come and move them somewhere safe after I witnessed one being attacked by a dog!"
