I READ with disgust the story about a goose dying after an attack (The Press, July 3).

If anyone knows who these people are it is time to name and shame.

Let their family, friends and work colleagues know what “fun” they have on a night out.

They ran off like cowards when they were approached by the wonderful staff of York Rescue Boat, who volunteer giving up their nights to patrol the river in case one of these drunken idiots ends up in the water.

The poor goose suffered unimaginable pain, fear and distress, and was so badly injured from being kicked and stamped on, she had to be put to sleep.

Proud of yourselves are you? You know who you are.

The geese are a target for ill treatment from drunks, so if you see anything happening to them, or any animal, capture the incident on your phone and call the police.

These horrid people need prosecuting.
