London police are asking for information from the public after a goose was found shot by an arrow for the second time this year.
Officers found the Canada goose around 11:20 a.m. Sunday along a Gibbons Park biking path near Grosvenor Street.
The goose was taken to the London Animal Care Centre for treatment and then transferred to the Salthaven Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre.
Salthaven's Brian Salt says, "He's not his normal rambunctious self for a Canada goose, but he's doing okay...Fortunately enough no vital organs have been involved here so we are treating goose with antibiotics."
The main concern for the goose is the possibility of infection. Once healed he'll be returned to where he was found.
This is the second goose found shot with an arrow in 2019.
On Jan. 17 officers were called to Springbank Park for an African goose that had an arrow through it.
The arrow was removed and the bird was taken in by Salthaven to recover. He has since found a new home with other domestic geese on a 200-acre farm owned by a veterinarian.
Police continue to investigate both incidents.
Anyone with information in relation to either event is asked to call police at 519-661-5670 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www.londoncrimestoppers.com.
