That's very sad news.
I hope the responsible local govt authority takes appropriate action.

[Birding-Aus] Bush stone curlew in
15/02/08 03:09 PM 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."
