Swans slaughtered

Swans slaughtered

Eight swans have been found shot dead in the United Kingdom, in what a wildlife rescue group described as 'one of the worst incidents' it had ever attended.

They were killed with an airgun and one of the swans must 'have suffered terribly' after it was shot three times, animal charity Secret World said.

The slaughtered animals were found by a passer-by in a field on West Ham road out of Blackford in Somerset.Source: The Daily MailPublished Feb 23 2011
