Disgraceful - What sort of person

When I hear things like this I realize how much I don't understand some people

Awful. I don't understand these people either, Impy, and don't really think I want to.

There's no rhyme or reaon behind any sort of vandalism and especially against creatures of any sort.

Completely sickening

The trouble is that there is absolutely no punishment for any person caught carrying out sickening animal cruelty.

There is punishment for these heinous acts, though not substantial enough. However in this case, with the swan being property of the Queen, the violator, if caught, may be punished more severely.........Lets hope so.....

Write your comments here...Yes Brian.  The perpetrator will receive 2 gentle smacks on the wrist instead of one. I'm afraid that doesn't act as a deterrent.

Given the punishments meted out to those who had upset her ancestors, it might prove a salutary deterrent for others. Can't see Queenie going for hanging, drawing and quartering though. Not so sure about PP.

I guess it's another brainless idiot with an air gun that thinks it's O.K to go round shooting animals for fun.I'm sure some of my fellow airgun club members would be happy to educate him ( or her) in why it is not what should be done.

Local Kent TV news had a report of a farmer who beat two Swans on his farm with his crook.His punishment was a massive £7K fine.
