Groundsman Terry Hamilton found two baby rabbits strung up at Bayard Recreation Ground in Brightlingsea. He is photographed with town mayor Jayne Chapman
A PARK manager was left sickened after discovering two rabbits left hanging from children’s swings.
The wild rabbits were found with their back feet wedged in the chains of children’s swings in Bayard Recreation Ground, in Regent Road, Brightlingsea.
The lack of gunshot wounds and the way the animals were found has led grounds manager Terry Hamilton to believe they were hung there while still alive.
Police confirmed they were aware of the incident.
