RootsBooster Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 " Those found guilty of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal could face a maximum six-month prison sentence and/or a £20,000 fine." The article mentions the consequences of animal cruelty but nothing about the fact that the guy was out in public shooting a crossbow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish it was the evil attacker who had the bolt through the neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joggit Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Maybe it is just fashionable headgear for birds? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1287001/Second-seagull-bolt-head-tourist-town.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only have as much power as the crossbow that fires them. There is a huge range of crossbow types, with varying power. Most pistol crossbows are not all that powerful for example, but easily concealed in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallanddopey Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 its also illegal to hunt with crossbows in the uk, so even if it wasnt public, and it had been a clean shot he should be in trouble anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
