Last week, according to social media, a previously unknown vehicle reportedly drove at high speed into a flock of cormorants near "Canopy" north of Cape Cross. The incident, which was discovered on Friday, left dozens of cormorants lying dead, seriously injured or maimed. The cormorants, which are known to take off slowly in flight, were apparently unable to escape the oncoming vehicle, which was apparently deliberately targeting the flock. Numerous birds suffered serious injuries, others lay dead on the ground. The person who recorded the video and posted it on social media described the act as a "heartbreaking act of cruelty". Authorities have been notified of the incident, and anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the incident has been urged to report to the police.
