Crossbow wielding poachers target pig farm that supplies meat to Buckingham Palace, Suffolk, Britain - 30 Nov 2013

Crossbow wielding poachers target pig farm that supplies meat to Buckingham Palace, Suffolk, Britain - 30 Nov 2013
Crossbow wielding poachers have struck at a pig farm in Suffolk that supplies meat to the royal family.
The thieves struck Jimmy Butler's farm in Blythburgh in the middle of the night - killing and stealing a number of animals.
Horrifically, they also left a number of pigs still alive but peppered with arrows.
Pork from the targeted farm is used by the kitchens at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle as well as top London restaurants such as the Ivy, the Savoy, Rhodes 24 and Hix Chop House.
In total six pregnant sows living in an outdoor ark at the farm were attacked, with three left with arrows sticking out of them.
The gang - Mr Butler believes there must have been at least three people in order to lift the 200 kilo dead pigs - struck under cover of darkness and used silent crossbows to avoid being heard.
Horrified Mr Butler found that two of the sows had been stolen and the other four left injured or so badly traumatised they may lose their litters.
He said: "The people who did this were worse than animals themselves. It was very distressing for my men who had to deal with wounded animals with crossbow bolts sticking out of them."
The 15-inch long steel-tipped arrows had to be carefully removed by a vet to avoid further injury.
But now there are concerns that the attack marks the start of a poaching campaign leading up to Christmas.
Mr Butler's farm - one of the first to use the healthier outdoor method of rearing pigs - has up to 2,000 sows and 20,000 piglets on it any one time.
The 66-year-old farmer added: "They weren't very clever poachers - they went for the breeding sows which all had litters - if it was pork for things like bacon they were after, there were smaller...

A Canada goose with remarkable fighting spirit has survived being shot with a crossbow. Following the attack the bird was left with a 15 inch crossbow bolt impaled through its body. Amazingly, it survived having the bolt removed and is now receiving specialist care at the Stapeley Grange Wildlife Centre in Nantwich. RSPCA Inspector Jackie Hickman commented: "This was a barbaric act of cruelty on a defenceless wild bird and I believe somebody must know who is responsible". She added: "I have dealt with a similar situation before where a farm animal was shot with a crossbow bolt and following DNA testing the perpetrator was identified and successfully prosecuted. "It is against the law to use any bow or crossbow against wild birds or other animals."
