Hi Digi
Sorry to hear about Swanny. It's always such a privilege, I think, for a wild animal (or any animal come to that) to learn to trust us. I, too, cannot comprehend how people can be so cruel and thoughtless. What makes me crosser though, is that if they are caught they are given a slap on the wrist and sent away
. I would like to see offenders like this (and here I'm being very diplomatic bearing in mind this is a family group!) being made to work in animal welfare or for a wildlife group for a month or so. This might even teach them a little respect???
