Merimbula – A very pretty spot on the far south coast
of NSW – but there is a monster in residence!
This monster was seen tossing juvenile silver gulls
out of his boat in front of shocked children.
Two men and a young boy tossed the baby birds, their
nests and some eggs into the lake. Some local kids and adults jumped in to save
as many as they could – 14 birds were taken into care.
National Parks and the RSPCA were notified and now
have the monsters details. One truly hopes he is taken to court and charged
under the Government Wildlife Act.
Many thanks to Kristine of Wildlife Rescue and the
Local WIRES volunteer for raising these birds and Australian Seabird Rescue
team member Penny for telephone support. All birds have now been released – thank you to all
involved.
A simple phone call would have solved this problem in
an hour instead of 2 months care and expense. One wonders about the future of
the boy involved in this act of cruelty.
