James Kempster, 37, has been charged after approximately 50 dead hares, a kestrel, and a barn owl were found dumped outside Broughton Community Shop in Hampshire on March 15. He faces charges including possessing live or dead Schedule 1 wild birds, possessing live or dead non-Schedule 1 wild birds, and criminal damage. The shocking discovery led local volunteers and police to express their outrage over the incident, with blood reportedly smeared on the shop windows and the birds placed on door handles. Officers from Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary's Country Watch Team have been investigating the case. Kempster is scheduled to appear in Southampton Magistrates' Court on September 10. Authorities have emphasized that such criminal acts will not be tolerated and will face legal consequences.
