West Midlands is the 4th county which is a hotspot for animal cruelty utilizing weapons. Most reports originated from Kent, followed by Greater London, Merseyside and collectively West Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire, and West Midlands. Prime targets throughout the nation were wild birds and animal cats with 841 birds and 262 cats intentionally assaulted with weapons, followed by wild mammals (82), dogs (59), stock (41) and horses (26).
The charity launched the heartbreaking figures as part of its Cancel Out Cruelty campaign, in a quote to raise funds to help its frontline rescue groups continue to save animals from cruelty and abuse – like fatal weapon attacks.
RSPCA chief inspector for West Midlands, John Grant said: “It is unspeakably cruel, totally unacceptable and illegal to shoot animals for ‘fun’ – or as target practice, but sadly our emergency line is receiving hundreds of reports. We think of ourselves as a nation of animal lovers, but the RSPCA’s experience shows that there are people out there who are deliberately targeting wildlife, pets and farm animals with guns, catapults and crossbows. These weapons cause horrific pain and suffering.
“Day after day, our frontline officers and animal centres see the sickening consequences of weapons being used on animals – severe injuries often leading to death. And what we deal with is probably only the tip of the iceberg as not all cases will be reported to the RSPCA directly and there may be situations where animals injured and killed by these weapons are sadly never found – especially in the case of wildlife. This is why we need our supporters to back our Cancel Out Cruelty campaign so we can tackle this horrific trend.”
