Default Men charged with killing 29 swans

Three Buckinghamshire men charged with killing 29 swans.

The men, all from Chesham, were charged under the Wildlife and Countryside Act with intentional killing of mute swans.

I have to wonder what goes through the minds of people that can commit these act against helpless wildlife

I agree Chocky, they probably committed the cardinal sin of landing where they weren't wanted.

Disgusting and unfortunately not an isolated incident.
