Two seagulls were put to sleep after being shot in Barry, South Wales. Both birds had suffered broken wings. Gulls, their eggs and their nests are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, meaning it is illegal to intentionally kill, take or injure them and other wild birds except under licence. The RSPCA is calling for tighter controls with better education and explanation of the law when buying an air gun.
