“…Shocked witnesses watched as a Staffordshire bull terrier dog bit the Canada goose’s head off near Runtzmere Lake in the park.”
The Hackney Citizen reports on a man arrested for failing to control his dog.
The paper also carries this, from a spokeswoman for Clissold Park Zoo Watch:
“Clissold Park Zoo is a bizarre, inhumane anachronism, more suited to the nineteenth century than the twenty-first. It’s time to close it down.”
