Kererū killed by crossbow in Wainuiomata
A protected kererū was recently found dead with a crossbow bolt though its body in Wainuiomata.
Lower Hutt Kereru Rescue co-ordinator Hayden James was called to retrieve the bird on Tuesday.
James said the incident was the latest in a series of incidents involving cruelty to birds in Wainuiomata.
Under the Wildlife Act, the penalty for killing protected species is up to two years in prison or a fine up to $100,000.
