In a disturbing trend, around 500 members across 11 group chats, including primary school children, shared footage of animal killings. Over 350 images and videos depict animals being shot with catapults, kicked, or drowned. The RSPCA labeled the content as 'horrendous' and called for catapults to be classified as illegal weapons. The targeted animals include deer, foxes, pigeons, squirrels, and ducks. Videos show children causing severe injuries to animals, with one video showing a child kicking a wounded deer. X-rays revealed shattered bones and ball bearings inside swans. Calls for action to stop animal cruelty have intensified.
