Earlier this week GSPCA staff were called out to help rescue a Bird of Prey.
On arriving at the scene at La Coudre, St Pierre Du Bois GSPCA staff member Annabelle Janes was shown the way to where the Bird had been found.
She quickly secured the very distressed Bird and made her way directly to Eturs Vets.
On closer inspection the Bird was identified as a Buzzard which had been shot by an air gun or rifle through the right shoulder.
The shot was confirmed after an x-ray and the bird also has a number of other health issues including fly strike due to the entry wound.
Jimmy as he has been named is currently in an Intensive Care Unit and requires regular injections and treatment but is responding well and soon will be in an aviary for his rehabilitation.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said 'We are extremely concerned that anyone could shot such a wonderful bird.'
'We are appealing for information for anyone who knows anything about this case as without doubt this poor bird had been suffering for sometime before we were able to rescue him.'
'If anyone has any information on this or any cruelty case to animals please call us on 01481 257261.'
