A deliberate act

“The camera then shifts to a car driving toward the geese. It drives up onto the pavement and runs over the geese, killing one of them. It is clear that this was done on purpose.”

The driver and the person who recorded the footage have been identified, and they have been charged with vandalism, violation of the Road Traffic Act and violation of the Animal Cruelty Act.

The young men have pleaded guilty to all charges against them.
