A heron was found dead in Vico del Gargano, in the province of Foggia, shot dead and then leaning against a pole and barbed wire
A difficult story even to tell, one that we would never want to show you. A heron was found dead in Calenella, in the territory of Vico del Gargano, in the province of Foggia. The poor animal would have been shot dead and then leaning against a pole and barbed wire.
An episode of unprecedented cruelty. The authors of the discovery told it on Facebook, the volunteers of the Green Jackets of the Gargano Group who published the images of the heron.
Volunteers tell us that the animal had been living in the area for some time but someone decided to kill it. As if that were not enough, his battered and lifeless body was placed in an upright position with his mouth stuck in a stake and his body to barbed wire.
For some time this Heron had been in the Calenella area, but today someone decided to take his life and then leave him ...

“For some time now, this heron has been in the Calenella area. Someone, today, has decided to take his life and then leave him here. We do not know how to define the author of such a vile gesture. Indeed, we know it well! " the volunteers write.
Now the Carabinieri are investigating to find the author of the cowardly gesture. We hope he can be spotted and severely punished.
RIP!
