An alarming incident involving the deaths of multiple geese has occurred in Dartford, raising concerns among local residents and authorities. Reports indicate that around eight geese were found dead on Anchor Boulevard, outside the office buildings in the Crossways Business Park area.

Initial posts on social media suggested that the birds had been run over, but subsequent examinations revealed what appeared to be gunshot wounds on some of the geese. This has led to speculation that the incident may have been a deliberate act of cruelty.

A resident who discovered the dead geese commented, “It’s such a shame and probably deliberate. It’s not the main road, and it’s usually a very quiet area.
