Three men from East Sussex have been charged in relation to poaching offences.
The men are accused of using crossbows to kill deer and wild birds in the Rother and Wealden area.
They will appear before Hastings Magistrates Court on 17 June charged with offences under the Wildlife and Countryside Act.
Sussex Police said the men were arrested in December but released on bail pending further inquiries.

Yes and while out on bail they could have murdered more innocent animals what a disgrace I hope they throw the book at these evil cretins, I would like to get a cross bow and have a go at them.
