Bodyline
Veterinary pathologist Vic Simpson has begun his "retirement"
by setting up Britain's first ever
Wildlife Veterinary Investigation Centre, in partnership with
the Cornwall Wildlife Trust.
We therefore need a network of volunteers who would be prepared to deliver
small bodies from their areas. If you travel regularly to Truro, would
you
be prepared to go on a list of couriers?

Bodies could be dropped off at the Wildlife Veterinary Investigation
Centre, Chacewater, or the Cornwall Wildlife Trust head quarters at
Allet, Truro.
For the various projects to be successful it is important that wildlife
casualties are reported quickly.
Please call Vic directly on (01872) 560623 or the Cornwall
Wildlife Trust on (01872) 273939.
