Toucan loses half its beak in attack by teenage thugs in Costa Rica prompting social media campaign to have gang arrested Pictures show the horrendous injury suffered by a toucan after it was attacked by teenage thugs with sticks in Costa Rica. The beautifully-coloured bird had almost the entire top part of its beak smashed off before being left for dead by the cold-hearted gang. After pictures of the keel-billed toucans injury began to circulate online - many on social media demanded the authorities to do more to track down those responsible for the attack and arrest them. The toucan was taken to a local vet clinic after the attack and it is hoped that a prosthetic could be used to replace the part of the beak that was broken off. According to veterinary staff, the magnificent bird was rescued after being repeatedly hit by a group of young men - who laughed throughout the ordeal.
