Gangs of young people with weapons loaded with ammunition such as ball bearings and bolts target and even kill beloved pets, waterbirds and wildlife in London and further afield.

⚠️ DARK STORY:

I saw a squirrel being hit by a car the other day and quickly dying after, which was really really horrible.

That was an accident, but some kids in the UK are hurting / killing pets and wildlife as part of some horrific TikTok trend…

Guess this is what happens when lazy people let corporations co-parent their kids and Animal Rights are weak.

Animal abuse should be punished much more severely IMO.

    When I was little my friends and I would often fight with the boys in our neighborhood for doing this. We ended up rescuing a fair amount of animals from them, but I’ll never forget the white out rage I felt when I realized what they were doing and wondering how many times it happened before.
