WILDLIFE is already under threat without thugs shooting willy-nilly at anything that moves.

A rare black swan was shot in the neck a couple of weeks ago and died. It is so easy to cause so much suffering.

Wildlife deserves respect and crimes against nature should not go unpunished.

And yes, let's have CCTV in slaughterhouses. I've heard many horror stories of what's gone on over the years. Those animals don't ask for much, only to be taken care of.
