The manager of the RSPCA wildlife centre in Nantwich says they are now seeing up to 70 airgun incidents every year.
Lee Stewart said he was “appalled” at the scale of airgun injuries suffered by animals who come into his Stapeley Grange centre in London Road.
RSPCA chiefs say they will take action against people caught deliberately targeting animals with airguns after a male cat was left with appalling injuries in Crewe.
A concerned homeowner took the cat to a vet after he was found in a collapsed state, gasping for breath and unable to walk, in her garden in Fanshawe Walk.
A swan was found on a South Cheshire canal peppered with shotgun and airgun pellets, the RSPCA has revealed.
The swan was found by a member of the public at Middlewich Canal and taken to the RSPCA’s Stapeley Grange wildlife centre in Nantwich.
