Animal Cruelty – Oxenford Lake
Those who walk around the Oxenford Lake, behind the Oxenford Community
and Youth Centre, would be aware of the ducks that live there, especially the
four white Muscovy ducks. Unfortunately,
there are only three ducks remaining as sometime between 7-21/09/2014, the
male duck was found dead, having suffered severe injuries (a notice has been
posted beside the path).
If a person decided to kill the duck, an offence has been committed;
if it was a dog an offence may have been committed.
To support an investigation, please contact me if you can assist with
any information, including:
- When the duck was last seen alive?
- When was the duck found killed (even if you only saw it there, it helps with the timing of the offence)?
- Who removed the duck (and possibly left the notice)?
- What were the injuries suffered by the duck?
- Was anyone a witness to what happened?
- Who killed it?
