Drunk men accused of killing rare bird under investigation

German police issued an appeal on Wednesday for witnesses who might have filmed a fatal weekend attack by two drunk men on an endangered capercaillie in the Black Forest village of Feldberg.

An investigation into animal abuse and possible infringement of conservation legislation by two men aged 20 and 22 has been launched. The western capercaillie is the largest member of the grouse family that is known for its elaborate mating displays. At one point, it was extinct in Scotland but a reintroduction programme bringing birds from Sweden has once more established it.The main reason this bird is endangered is the loss of the habitat where it lives.
