A Canada
Goose suffered for possibly weeks and ended up losing a leg
because of improperly discarded fishing litter, the RSPCA has revealed.
The
organisation was contacted by a concerned member of the public who saw the
goose on a lake near to Ryders Hayes Lane, Walsall, staggering and struggling
to stand. When RSPCA animal collection officer (ACO) Cara Gibbon arrived to
catch the goose, she was shocked to see that it was missing his right leg, with
the bone protruding through.
Its left leg, which was also tangled in fishing line, was completely dead as a
result of the blood supply being cut off. Very sadly, after being assessed by a
vet, the goose had to be euthanised to end its suffering. ACO Gibbon said:
"The leg that he did have was red hot at the top, above the fishing line,
and stone cold beneath the line.
