Hundreds of raw sausages have been fly-tipped near to a city centre.
The pile of bangers was dumped along a Bristol footpath in Peel Street Green Space in St Jude’s, and first shared social media on Saturday.
Resident Jake Wesleuy-Worrall said he noticed the piles have changed shape over the days and suspects wildlife has been eating the food.
A Bristol City Council spokesperson confirmed they were aware of the fly-tipping, adding: “Clearly the edge of a path is not the place to dispose of food waste. It’s far healthier and much better for the environment to recycle food waste in a food waste caddy.”
The sausages have so far survived three nights despite strong gusts and rain from Storm Bram.
“The damp pink cylinders themselves look relatively unchanged from the original photograph,” said Mr Wesley-Worrall.
“I imagine the somewhat cold weather has had an effect on the speed of the deterioration, but with this week being quite warm for the season, I would expect the condition of the sausages to wane rapidly.”
