Did the blitz kill animals?

Absolutely. Not on purpose, animals were not targeted. But the Germans were dropping bombs on blacked out cities. Pets were not allowed in air raid shelters. Wild birds, squirrels and rabbits and so on had no idea where to go or what to do. The blitz was indiscriminate in its violence and any living thing could be killed by it. I believe I remember that the London Zoo happened to be hit in one raid.
