Two more pigeons have been found staked out at the same location as detailed in our article of May 13th 09. The first pigeon was found by a passer-by and released. Then two days later, another pigeon was found, again at the same location, staked out. Now it’s got full police attention, and this time they are investigating the matter in a forceful manner.
You can read the press release at the BBC.
In the May 13th article by Geoff Horne, Peregrine Coordinator in West Cumbria, the police were reported as having disposed of the dead pigeon without testing it for poison. Maybe if they’d been a bit more on the ball, somebody would be facing charges now.
I don’t know what to say to this… Shocking… 3 times this year the trap has been laid??? i really hope someone is caught for this…
The fact the first carcas was destoryed? come on people this needs to be stepped up… Its the 21st century for crying out, this kind of thing should not be happening!
