SWAN THUG
It is an offence to injure, take or kill a wild swan as they are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981.
By tradition the Crown owns all mute swans found on open water in the UK. The mute swan is the most common of three UK species.
Many have accused the boys behind the video of animal cruelty and have called on the police to investigate.
One woman wrote on Facebook: “This Is so upsetting. What the hell is wrong with people?”
Another said: “What the hell. Please say this person has been found. There are no words.”
One woman posted: “Omg how heartbreaking.”
