One day we get a report stating how bad our wildlife are doing and the next day we find out yet another educational institute is not just turning a blind eye to wildlife crime but punishing someone who rescues it.
RSPCA Ref 1162721
03001234999
Police Ref BCA-82240-23-6060-1RO1
Investigation into incident leading to Thomas'(the seagull) death being closed but the Volunteer who witnessed it & rescued the baby #gull has been kicked off her Course
Apparently students used the gull as a football and the college refused to report the incident (an offence in itself) and the student who rescued the bird was punished and ejected her:
"They said it was because of her attendance (she was present for every Registration) & because 'her heart wasn't in it'. She loved the course & sent images of her work to family. They offered her a 'Hospitality' Course knowing she would not take it as she was on a Art Course.
“What an example to set for future generation."
I have said and written many times that working in wildlife is a war. It is a war you keep fighting but when educational institutes want to kill or "remove" foxes and badgers from their grounds because they are wildlife it is bad. But when educational institutions allow and condone animal cruelty and refuse to punish those involved or even report a wildlife crime you realise you are dealing with the dregs.
