Greenwich Wildlife Network, a rescue group in southeast London and north Kent, reports a worrying increase in incidents of animal violence, particularly by catapults. Founder Rae Gellel mentions that on average, they receive reports of injured or killed wildlife almost daily, with areas like Priory Gardens and Danson Park identified as hotspots. The violence, typically perpetrated by teenage boys using projectiles such as ball bearings and rocks, has escalated despite community awareness. The charity, which has grown since its 2019 inception, deploys volunteers who tirelessly work to rescue wildlife but often face challenges in their efforts.
