A litter picker in Northern Ireland says it is shameful to dump animal bodies in rivers. They said many incidents have been found since 2020. The numbers show almost 150 cases. This is harmful for nature and for people who live nearby. The litter picker wants more care and better rules. They also ask local people to report problems when they see dumping. Rivers should be clean, not used as a place to throw away animals.
