Officials investigating after dead sea ducks found dumped at N.H. welcome center
"Eleven dead sea ducks were found at a New Hampshire welcome center earlier this month, the New Hampshire Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division reported. A New Hampshire Conservation Officer was notified on Jan. 11 that a bag full of dead birds was dumped at the Seabrook Welcome Center off of I-95. While at the center, the officer located the bag containing 11 sea ducks with some having partially removed hunting tags. With the tags missing, the hunters cannot be identified, officials said."
"Officials said they believe the ducks were taken in Massachusetts and brought to New Hampshire and then dumped. The act is being investigating a potential Wanton Waste Law violation after the ducks were left intact, officials said. The Wanton Waste Law prohibits hunters from purposefully wasting or neglecting edible or useful parts of a hunted animal. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department encourages anyone with information related to the ducks should contact New Hampshire State Police Dispatch at 603-271-3361."
