A young swan has been left with a ‘permanent hole’ in his tongue as RSPCA officers are seeing a surge in the need to rescue birds from fishing tackle.
It’s prompted the charity to to renew its calls to anglers to be responsible when discarding their kit. In one rescue, firefighters were even called to help the RSPCA.Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and RSPCA inspector Deborah Beats, had to use ‘reach and rescue’ poles to Save the pigeon which was trapped about 30 feet up a tree overhanging the reservoir in Alexandra Park in Edgeley last Monday .
Taken to Ashleigh Veterinary Centre in Firswood and given pain relief, antibiotics and anti inflammatories, the bird has since been re-released, although damage caused by the hook has left a permanent hole in his tongue. “Fishing litter in our waterways is a major problem and it is so damaging to wildlife. Carelessly discarded fishing line, hooks and netting can have a terrible toll on animals. Discarded line in particular is a terrible hazard, particularly as it can be almost invisible and water birds are especially vulnerable.
