while sitting in my garden i was hearing pellets wiz thru the air ,there is an allotment and a communal garden were the flats are behind my home is were this fool is shooting birds from ,with his daughter and son both young children ,which the dad has given a catapult to the son as they go around shooting pigeons and the back lights in the allotment ,i am just waiting to record them in the act and will report them ,there are many houses with children on holidays playing in there gardens with this dangerous man and his air rifle looking to kill wildlife ,only last year was the armed response was out looking for two men walking around with a shotgun and knife from the same flats, they have no respect for any one and themselves but unfortunately some one has to take responsibility before someones pet or child becomes a victim and it looks like me .
