Kirkley: Call for better wildlife protection
Campaigners are calling for better wildlife protection at a beauty spot after a swan died following a dog attack.
Mute swan "Brucie" had been a popular presence at Fen Park, Lowestoft, Suffolk, for more than five years and had survived a previous dog attack in August 2021.
But on May 28, he was attacked again and, following a neck infection, the RSPCA said vets decided "the kindest thing to do was to put him to sleep to prevent suffering".
Lowestoft Town Council and the Friends of Fen Park are now urging all dog owners who visit the area to keep their pets on leads and away from wildlife.
