Summary created with AI assistance · Source: stourbridgenews.co.uk
  • A Canada goose was found with an old fishing hook embedded in its beak and neck, severely limiting its ability to feed and move.

  • RSPCA rescuers collaborated with Swan Watch to safely coax the bird onto land and remove the hook and fishing line.

  • The goose suffered only minor injuries and was promptly returned to its natural habitat after treatment.

  • The RSPCA emphasized that discarded fishing gear poses a serious risk to wildlife, especially water birds.
  • Carelessly discarded fishing line, hooks and netting can have a terrible toll on animals, and water birds like the goose at this lake, are particularly vulnerable.
    — Charlotte Holder, RSPCA Animal Rescue Officer, commenting on the incident at West Smethwick Park
