Clarifying the penalty of a dog attacking livestock by adding a proviso to include “any other livestock.”

HB 4800 amends West Virginia law to explicitly include "any other livestock" in penalties for dogs wounding or killing livestock. The bill expands the current list of protected animals (such as sheep, cattle, and poultry) to cover all livestock defined under §19-18-1, regardless of specific naming. This change ensures dog owners face penalties for harming livestock not previously listed in the statute, including animals like goats or rabbits if they fall under the broader definition. The law directly affects dog owners whose pets injure livestock and livestock owners seeking compensation for losses.
