Police have called for witnesses for abuse against animals in Windsor and Maidenhead - and the appeal has been hailed as a positive step by wildlife charity Swan Support. On Thursday, May 16, Thames Valley Police issued a neighbourhood alert stating the force had received reports of youths using catapults to injure wildlife in the Royal Borough. “This appalling act of firing catapults at wildlife is an offence,” the appeal said. This call to action has been well-received by the charity Swan Support, based in Bray, which rescues sick and injured swans in the region. “The people around shooting the wildlife don’t give a care for what they're doing and we’ve had enough of it,” said Wendy.
