I am glad an arrest has been made, this was a senseless and cruel killing of geese because of excessive speed and not caring at all about their actions they didn’t even apparently try to avoid them according to witnesses. But it’s important that these rat runs are sorted out as it’s not the only residential area where people are using it as a short cut and using excessive speed. I hope now that they have had time to reflect on their actions that they are not only punished to the full extent of the law but reconsider their behaviour.
This person is disgusting and vile and deserves to be dealt with in the most severe way possible. These are protected birds as well and he has no reason or justification for what he’s done it’s disgusting had this been a kid he’d killed he would be in prison regardless and his licence taken away
