Wildlife Deputy DeSalle yesterday offered a $10 reward to anyone who succeeds in providing evidence that will help put a stop to the rash of bird killings plaguing Kingsport Head.
“It’s heartbreaking and enraging,” said Deputy DeSalle. “I’ve been finding the birds everywhere. Someone has been killing them and carving signs into their bodies. I have no idea what these markings mean, and I don’t care to. All I know is that it’s disgusting and wrong.”
The deputy went on to explain that stopping the perpetrator(s) is growing urgent.
“In the next few weeks, the migration season will get underway,” he said. “There are some truly rare and beautiful birds who stop in Kingsport Head during that time. They must be protected. We can’t let hooliganism destroy one of Kingsport’s natural treasures.”
