The young goose which was beaten in a vicious attack at People’s Park in Ballymena last Wednesday night is recovering well, say police.
The goose is currently in the care of the staff at Fenaghy Veterinary Clinic, in the town.
George as he has been affectionately named, is a Greylag species. It was feared he would have to be put to sleep after the ordeal.
According to officers, the bird was grabbed by the neck before being subjected to a blunt force.
Police say although battered and bruised, the young goose should recover fully from his injuries.
“It is not known if his wing is broken as a sedation and x-ray would be too much of an ordeal for him at present, but as long as his recovery continues in the manner it has done so far, George should be fit for release in the next couple of days,” added a police spokesperson.
Police have appealed for anyone who knows what happened to the goose to contact them on 101.
