Story making the news today:

Personally, this story is quite shocking as it isn't too far from where I live (Sale, not Wythenshawe thankfully!) but who in their right minds would do such a thing!? I've been to that park a few times, its a great place to take the kids, see the farmyard area, fireworks on Nov 5th and so it strikes home a bit when something like that happens quite close to where you live. I know Wythenshawe is definately one of the rougher areas of Manchester, but even so, these kinds of acts are utterly deplorable and I can't envisage that anyone would ever be caught for this crime.
Another point to make is that I feel it is quite important to look after Britains parks and for the children/parents who visit this park frequently, this sort of thing must be quite distressing.
Eighteen birds have been beheaded, a frog speared, fish poisoned and 130 windows smashed at a Manchester park.
The vandals broke into the aviary in Wythenshawe Park between 1630 BST on Saturday and 1000 BST on Sunday.
After beheading the birds, they threw the carcasses around. They then filled a pond with fertiliser, killing the carp. They also chopped down trees.
Greater Manchester Police said they believed more than £10,000 of damage had been caused.
