 £2,000 REWARD OFFERED TO HELP FIND SADIST WHO TIED OWL BY HIS WING TO TREE IN WARWICKSHIRE

Group Warns That Animal Abusers Are a Serious Threat to Whole Community and Likely to Escalate Behaviour Unless Stopped

Warwickshire – PETA is offering a reward of up to £2,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who maliciously tied an owl by his wing – using string and a set of car keys – to a tree in a public woodland area near Nuneaton known as “The Rough”.

Would you please share this information with your audience in order to help apprehend those responsible for this cruel act?

“It is imperative that any community faced with a violent act such as this take measures to find the culprit or culprits and bring them to justice”, says PETA spokesperson Elisa Allen. “Animal abusers are a danger to everyone – they take their issues out on whoever is available to them, human or non-human, and must be caught before they act again.”

History shows that past incidents involving cruelty to animals regularly appear in the records of serial rapists and murderers. Young killers Mary Bell, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables as well as serial murderers Ian Huntley, Thomas Hamilton (the Dunblane massacre), Fred West, Dennis Nilsen, Ian Brady and Raoul Moat all started out by deliberately harming animals.

Anyone with information about this case is urged to contact the RSPCA on 0300 123 8018.
