I saw on the news tonight a story about a swan. He had moved his family to a different pond, because they were continually being harrassed. Some little s***t found them again, and the cob was shot dead with an air weapon, trying to defend his family. To say I am incensed is an understatement. How can anyone however thick take any pleasure from killing a completely harmless animal? Its beyond me. A very low Bill

I agree Bill absolutely disgusting Swans are such beautiful creatures and as all animals deserve respect catherine xx

I don't understand either Bill. I can not comprehend the way their minds work. It is just so wicked and so very sad. Beryl x

Bill, I am in total agreement with you, I am constantly stunned by such cruelty, my kids have had there probs but would never hurt an animal, hugs to you and that poor swans family, Caz xx

yeah..and if they were caught,what would they get....a slap on the wrist...cos the laws an arse.

You are not even allowed to slap wrists these days, in fact there is no proper punishment even if they are caught.

Sick, mindless and disgusting. I would like to stick his air rifle 'where the sun don't shine'.

Peter you have just been boasting about spraying cats with a hose on another thread, i dont have cats myself but know that doing that to a cat causes a great deal of stress.

Thats awfull, when I worked in Reading I use to walk along the river to work, just so I could see the Swans and their babies, they are so beautiful and gracefull. Bev

Swans are beautiful creatures - unlike the filthy scum that did that horrendous thing. I hope he/she/they come to a sticky end, and I make no apologies for it. Disgusted. :-(

Some humans are just not worthy to live on our beautiful planet, Infact the planet would be far better off without them. These people are not this way because their disturbed or mentally ill as some would have you believe,their simply evil. swans are beautiful graceful creatures,I can understand how it was trying to protect its family,Just Like any father/mother would protect its young. I can only say how sorry I am to every creature that suffers at the hands of mankind,sometimes Im so very ashamed to be human.

How awful. There have been items in our local newspaper recently about culling some of our swans, as there are too many on the river!

Gillie - I was thinking exactly the same thing & then I read your message, so I don't think you're making it up!! Ails x

Your right Gillie, the Queen owns all unmarked Swans. So cruel for this to happen.

That is so sad William, there seems to be so much cruelty in the world towards animals,and to humans too, the punishment never fits the crime,unfortunately. Trish xx

some people are so cruel what they get out of it i really dont know but also why are people so cruel to each other lets all be kind to each other and to animals to

Unfortunately Bill we now know that serial killers and other insane psychotic people usually started out by being cruel to animals so it dosent bode well for the world. I once saw a suggestion that children and people charged with cruelty should be registered in a database as it will be useful to catch up with them later. The other thing that is also seen in them apparently is deliberate firelighting It is not a normal childhood phase Regards Tania

i know what i,d like to do to the person who did that.x

tania you are totaly right xxx

Makes you feel sick to the pit of your stomach. Why? and what sick pleasure do these morons get from these cruel acts? Swans are so beautiful,but then ,nothing's beautiful to the low-life!! Mau
