and potentially fatal to children

An
investigation into potential wildlife poisoning has
been launched by police after the carcasses of game birds were discovered
“pegged up” in Londonderry.
The Police
Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said that the birds were
left in the Victoria Road area “in order to poison wildlife”.
Posting an
image of the dead birds on its Foyle Facebook page,
the force appealed for information in the investigation.
It said
the carcasses and raw meat were being examined to find out “what surprises” had
been left on them.
In its
latest bird crime report, the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds(RSPB)
confirmed five cases of bird persecution in Northern Ireland in 2017, including
one incident in Londonderry.
