Third boy charged over zoo attack
Keepers said a snowy owl was so traumatised she ate her chicks
A third boy has been charged after dozens of animals were attacked at a zoo in Dundee.
Police have reported the 14-year-old to the Children's Panel, along with two other boys, aged 11 and 13.
Two terrapins died and a deer was slashed with a craft knife in last month's break-in at the Camperdown Wildlife Centre.
Keepers said a snowy owl and a bear were traumatised in the incident, in which 25 animals were injured.
A Tayside Police spokesman said: "A third youth, aged 14, has been charged with regards to the incident at Camperdown Zoo between 2-3 July whereby animals were injured."
A report will be submitted to the children's reporter.
