Fury as swan shot in head four times while protecting nest in ‘cruel and horrible’ attack

A SWAN was shot in the head four times while trying to protect her nest in a shocking case of animal cruelty at a park in Merseyside.
The RSPCA was called to reports of an injured swan at Stadt Moers Park on Tuesday. The bird was rushed to the vets but had to be put down after four pellets were found in her head.
RSPCA inspector Louise Showering, who attended the incident with animal welfare officer Matt Brown, said the attack was “cruel and horrible”.
Insp Showering said: “When Matt and I arrived we could see two swans sitting on a nest containing eggs on the banks of the park’s lake.
“We were really concerned because we could see blood on one of the swans, so Matt changed into his specialist water rescue kit and made his way into the lake.
“He was able to get hold of the female easily, so we knew she was badly hurt.
“As we carried the swan away from the lake we could hear her mate calling for her, it was very upsetting, especially as he will now have to protect the eggs, but it is possible he may be successful in raising the young alone.
“To think someone has done this deliberately is absolutely terrible, I can’t imagine why someone would be so cruel to a wild animal.
“The local people who have watched the birds for some time are also extremely upset.”
The RSPCA is appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
Insp Showering added: “It’s an offence to kill or injure a wild bird, not to mention a really cruel and horrible thing to do.
“We’re appealing to anyone who may have any information, no matter how small, to get in touch.
“They can leave a message for me in complete confidence by calling our inspector appeal line number on 0300 123 8018.”
Twitter users reacted with fury to the attack on the swan.
Today AWO Brown was called to rescue a Swan from a pool in #Huyton, that had been shot 4 times & left to die, whilst trying to protect its nest. The Swan was rushed to the vets, but its injuries were too severe & so euthanasia was the kindest option. #stillhereforanimals 33 pic.twitter.com/k3GLlNDuIy

One said: “Shocking. So sad to hear this. Thank you for trying to save a life.”
Another wrote: “Needless and tragic. We need stronger punishment for the sick and twisted individual’s that do this.”
A third commented: “Utterly heartbreaking.”
Another said: “Hope they catch whoever did this it sickens me that there are people who do these things to animals.”
A fifth asked: “Why are people so cruel?”
The RSPCA has dealt with 21,137 cases of animal cruelty since the coronavirus lockdown started on March 23.

Petition Link –
Mark,

In the video it is very clear how they have the horses tied to a trunk that flutter through the air and the horses fly away and are left hanging.

In the video it is very clear how they have the horses tied to a log that flutter through the air and the horses fly off and are hanging on ropes. This happened in Tierra del Fuego and I hope that something will be done against the people who did this to the horses, because in the end there are witnesses, even videos and nothing ever happens and this is forgotten and the animals continue to be mistreated by these criminals.

More than 1,140,100 people in the United States have been infected with the coronavirus and at least 66,400 have died, according to a New York Times database. More than 1,000 additional deaths have been announced every day since April 2.
Case numbers spike in Midwestern meatpacking cities
Across the Midwest and Great Plains, production at meatpacking plants and other food processing centers has slowed or stopped because of large outbreaks, including one at a Smithfield facility in South Dakota that sickened more than 1,000 people.
The Times has identified more than 40 food processing facilities across the country with coronavirus outbreaks. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said at 4,900 meat and poultry processing workers had been infected across 19 states, and at least 20 had died.
Some companies, including Tyson and Smithfield, have refused to answer even basic questions about the size of their outbreaks. And in some places, state and local health officials have also been silent. In Kansas, state officials said there were 544 meatpacking-related cases spread across six clusters, but they refused to name those facilities. In Dakota County, Neb., where case numbers have exploded in recent days and where Tyson closed a plant for cleaning, the county health department has declined to give that information. The Nebraska National Guard has been testing workers at that facility.
Small metro areas with large meatpacking industries are seeing some of the country’s highest rates of growth in cases. In the county that includes Green Bay, Wis., where there are outbreaks at three meatpacking facilities, cases more than tripled over 10 days. In St. Joseph, Mo., more than 350 workers and their close contacts have tested positive. And in Cass County, Ind., where large numbers of Tyson workers fell ill, the number of known cases surged from roughly 50 to more than 1,200 over two weeks. Around half of the roughly 1,900 employees tested at that facility had the coronavirus, Indiana officials said.

Asian giant hornets (known as ‘murder hornets’) have shown up in the US for the first time, giving Americans a “refreshing” change of pace and something else to worry about other than the deadly Covid-19 pandemic
In any other year, reports of murder hornets being in the US for the first time ever might instill some fear in people, but with the news dropping in the midst of a pandemic that has crippled the economy and left people under strict lockdown orders, it appears to have been greeted mostly with humor.
https://twitter.com/i/status/1256682276236206080
The worry now is these hornets could spread in the US and have a serious effect on the bee population, which in turn negatively impacts the many crops that need bees for pollination.
The WSDA has started an “aggressive trapping program” to stop the spread of the hornets and, hopefully, another potential crisis.
How have people responded to the news? Battleworn from Covid-19, the potential for a crisis with ‘murder hornets’ has been taken surprisingly well.
And I mean…They say it’s definitely a spying horn-like drone !!!
Has China been sanctioned?
Or Russia?
Monsanto and Bayer have been contaminating the bee world with only A FEW MILLION TONS of glyphosate for years, which is not only harm but also a crime.
And this crime goes on.
Since the United States is the main user of Monsanto and pollutes its environment with pesticides, not only bees but millions of other insect species have died, which will lead to the inevitable hunger of the “murder” hornets.
The WSDA’s aggressive trapping program is therefore unnecessary!
We have always thought that insects are the animals that survive best.
We thought wrong.
We did the calculation without to considere the professional environmental criminals Monsanto, Bayer and other giants.
My best regards to all, Venus

They are not dirty, aggressive or disease-transmitting animals. They are very social and playful and love hugging.
And they are very clean. They could be compared to a small dog.
We will always defend all the creatures of this planet, no matter how small they are.
My best regards to all, Venus
