ranworthbreeze Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Pointless, cruel and somewhat dangerous to the offender, swans can at times be aggressive and unpredictable. Regards Alan 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnks34 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 guy needs a good hard kick in his nuts ! As well as a thoroughly good kicking in my book and then locking up in Rampton.....permenantly. I really hope this excuse for a human is found, has his hands and legs tied and is covered in what ever swans like to eat and is thrown in a pen with atleast 100 of them. I cant find the words to express how truly upsetting I find this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilB Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 There's absolutely no justification for this behaviour, glad the police are taking this seriously. A swans hiss is generally worse than their peck! Once you've folded their wings and picked them up they are usually very docile. Except for the black swans, never experienced it myself but heard they can be vicious. I used to help Swan Lifeline many years ago, visited their base and had a few hours training. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Rather than a kick in the nether regions he could be also 'swung around' by them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking23 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I do hope they find the offender, I wonder what his family would think about this, especially if he has grand children. As we are on the subject of feeding wildfowl and damaged wings, then we all need to consider what harm we are doing, feeding them white bread and other processed food. A condition called "Angel Wing" this can damage their wings to a point where they can't fly, and save them selves from attackers. Here is some information... http://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/feeding-white-bread-to-wild-birds-is-killing-them/ We first read about this at Ellesmere lake in Shropshire, there were graphic pictures showing the condition. So we can all help to prevent this. There is nothing more relaxing than feeding ducks, but we need to consider what we feed them. The approach of say... it's only a bit of bread, is multiplied up as each boat cruises past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracie Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Disgusting and truly upsetting, I know what I would like to swing him round by and it won't be his bl***y neck Grace 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hockham Admiral Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Lori, hello and nice to hear from you. Such low life scrotes don't have minds as we know.They should be treated as pond life. Trying to understand them is just not possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptinDread Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have been bitten by a swan, they can draw blood, their mouth has ridges like a file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnks34 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Swans can be viscious buggers but are not normally so. I am usually quite confident around most of gods creatures (that is unless we are talking lions tigers or anything else that can rip you limb from limb). I have been known to handle swans and other water birds to assist them when caught in fishing tackle (if i can catch them and I think I can help). However there was one day I was walking round a trail at How Hill to round a corner and be confronted by a swan protecting its nest, did I walk past it....did I heck!! This one meant business and it wasnt having any of my charm. captaindread, maybe the one that got you was protecting its young to, or just having a bad day! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptinDread Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think it just wanted food and tried to eat my hand. Loool 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
