Tyre tracks from the landrover and feathers from the swan.

Swan attack in Surrey
February 2010. On Friday 5th February, A passerby rescued a swan from a main road in Walton on Thames, and took it across the footpath and on to the safety of the grass verge.

Whilst waiting for assistance from the Swan Sanctuary at Shepperton, to her horror a green land rover with four men inside mounted the footpath on to the grass and deliberately ran over the Swan. Not satisfied with this they then tried to reverse over the Swan it was only the bravery of the 4'10" passerby that saved the swan from being killed.

The Swan has now been admitted to the Swan Sanctuary at Shepperton with a head injury and a broken left leg. As soon as his condition is stable the swan will have to under go surgery; the Swan's condition is very serious.

Surrey Police incident number P10036277 Telephone 01483 639971.

Mindless attack on swan.

This is an horrific, mindless attack. How on earth do some people sleep at night. I hope these guilty people are prosecuted and receive a just sentence for such horrendous cruelty.

I sure hope the people that did this were caught and charged!
