Walkers are finding dead wallabies at Loch Lomond


Walkers say they've found wallabies with gun shot wounds in Inchconnachan - an island on the Loch.

This comes days after landowners said they may have to cull the marsupials because they eat huge amounts of vegetation, which threatens other wildlife.

Protesters have been campaigning to save the wallabies but are disturbed by the gory findings.

The current owners and the National Park both say the cull has not yet begun, so police have been called in to investigate.
