Three orphaned fox cubs have been found dead by a golfer at a Co Down course with gun shot injuries.
The clubs, estimated to be a few months old are believed to have been orphaned recently and an animal rescue group and greenkeepers at Clandeboye Golf Club were informed about the gruesome discovery.
On Saturday morning, May 6, a golfer found the three cubs lying dead with gunshot wounds near their necks. He gathered them together at the first hole and placed his towel over them.
