Pigeons
On 4 December 1914 notification was given that the government were using carrier pigeons, and that no one should therefore shoot at any such birds seen. Found carrier pigeons which had lost their way should be handed in to the police. 

Blackbird

Dog
1 March - at Clarendon Road, Broadstairs a bomb cut through a chain tethering a dog to a kennel; the dog bolted in fright

Horse

Pigeons
In October the public were informed that there had been several incidences of carrier pigeons being shot down. They were reminded of the vital work of the pigeons, and reminded that there was a fine of £100 or six months imprisonment with or without hard labour, or both penalties, should a pigeon be shot down, wounded, or not handed over to the uthoritis, or should anyone with any information of such occurences neglect to report it. As added incentive, anyone reporting an incident would receive a reward of £5.

Dog
Mr Banks was carrying a dog when he was fatally injured during the blackout by a bus. The dog survived and ran away yelping.

Sheep
By April 1940, 100,000 sheep had been moved from the Romney Marsh, where they were considered as both booty in a possible invasion and a potential hindrance to resistance and defence. Six sheep died in the move.

Chaffinch

Hounds
On 22 September a Hunt kennels in SE England was bombed and flattened. None of the thirty hounds was hurt, though some dozen were thrown twenty feet or more by the blast. Hounds were all found within three hours.

Cows
In December it was reported that .the fat content of their milk was good during June, July, and August, but diminished in September to a subnormal average. This may have been owing to the colder nights, but it was also suggested this may have occurred through enemy air raids, as there was some evidence to suggest fat content was less when cows had been scared by explosions.

Pony
7 October 1940. The pony belonging to Mr and Mrs Moore, which used to pull their shop delivery cart, was killed when a bomb fell. Mr and Mrs Moore were seriously injured. 

Various

Sheep
16 January 1942. A flock of twenty sheep strayed into a mined area. Seven were killed by the mines, the unretrievable remainder of the sheep were shot in order to avoid detonating any further mines.  

Rabbits
April 1942. Two tame rabbits were stolen by Robert Alfred Perry and Alec Frank Robinson, two soldiers, from a man in Guston. The soldiers then tried to sell the rabbits at the Dublin Man o' War, River. Robert Perry soldiers said he was a married man and needed the money. They were both sentenced to short spells of imprisonment.

Dog
12 March 1943. "Flash" was a white West Highland terrier. He had been on board the Norwegian Tanker Tankexpress when she was torpedoed by a U-boat in the South Atlantic in July 1942. All the crew were picked up by HMS Lightning a week later and safely put ashore in Gibraltar. Their dog they gave to HMS Lightning, where he was renamed "Flash" and looked after by CPO Jago.

and cat

HMS Lightning features also in the nautical narrative of "Unsinkable Sam". He is said to have been a black-and-white cat found floating on wreckage by HMS Lightning after the sinking of the Ark Royal on 13 November 1941. He gained the name "Unsinkable" through having already survived, named Oskar, the sinking of the Bismarck, west of Brest, France, on 27 May 1941, and then the torpedo damage and subsequent loss of HMS Cossack in October 1941. There is a portrait entitled "Oscar, the Bismarck's cat" at the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich.

Tortoise
23 April 1943. A tortoise was found under five feet of soil. It had been buried by the debris from a bomb which fell in Albert Road some six months before. On its back, it was nevertheless seemingly none the worse for its imposed hibernation as it was still alive.

Various
