Can I ask that people keep their responses to this rather distressing
piece of news relatively calm please?
Having said that, can I ask was the dog owner "informed" of what had
just happened?

Subject: Bush stone curlew in Five Dock
Nevil Lazarus has asked me to let people know that yesterday the bush
stone curlew was attacked by a dog.
Although Nevil was able to chase away the dog the bird would appear to
have be seriously injured.
Nevil's exact words were:
"I went there yesterday, and found it sitting next to the cricket nets.
I watched it for an hour or so, and it then walked to a fence adjacent
to the creek, next to the path. It stood there for a while, and then lay
down next to the fence, which you can see in the picture attached. I was
sitting on a bench about 30mt from the bird, waiting for the light to
tone down to get some pics in good light - it was 3.45pm.
A cyclist with a dog approached - the dog attacked the bird, which,
because of the fence, could not get away. I ran and chased the dog, but
the bird was wedged under the fence, one leg broken. I eased it out from
under the fence, and it hopped and then flew, the leg dangling limply
underneath."
