Once a child's toy, catapults have become a deadly weapon, with footage of catapult attacks on geese, swans and other wildlife being widely shared on social media.

An animal rescuer describes her heartbreak at watching four ducklings disappear after their mother was killed with a catapult, while a farmer tells of his anguish at finding five sheep shot dead with a catapult at close range.

But it's not just wildlife - we hear from the people who have been targeted too. A man shot with a catapult describes feeling like he’d been hit by a brick. And a surgeon reveals how he’s treated patients blinded after attacks.

As some groups call for tougher rules on the possession of these readily-available weapons, we also meet those using catapults legitimately for sport.
