CIT ‘crow’ scare over after jackdaw rescue

A campus “crow scare” is over after animal welfare inspectors rescued a baby jackdaw.

The Cork Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (CSPCA) swooped on Cork Institute of Technology (CIT) yesterday in the wake of a spate of suspected crow attacks on college grounds in recent days.

Up to 20 people reported being attacked by crows near the staff car park. Two people needed medical treatment, including tetanus jabs, after the aerial assaults.
