Bullshit. That swan was a wild animal, a good father. As far as the swan was concerned, he was acting in self-defense of his family. Yes it is tragic that the person died, but killing the male would harm the female and her chicks. You go out into the animal's domain, you respect their spaces.

Obviously you have never dealt with swans. Their necks are very strong and muscular. And long. If he dove, that swan can reach down the length of its neck and half its body. And that cob swan could easily out swim a human in the water. They are *not* fragile birds whatsoever.

[@mokushmasmo6009]

Swans can float on water, they essentially live in water. They work out everyday just by living. They eat food more nutritious than you probably. And you a sinking human who eats processed garbage in your worst possible conditions. Wonder why a swan probably 10× more adapt at its environment. Probably 10× more able in water. And probably have evolutionary talent you can't see like abnormal strength. No shit a human can get killed in the right circumstances. I'm not saying its common. But people underestimate the strength of birds.

The swan did what swans normally do. Killing him is absolutely pointless and just vengeful. The dogs that mauled a human are put down because that is not typical dog behavior and this particular dog is dangerous. This was a typical swan behavior, the guy was just in a wrong place and in a wrong type of boat, wothout the proper gear. If a car crushes into a tree you don’t blame the tree, the same should apply to wild animals doing what they normally do.

I think any swan could have done the same. To single out the one that attacked this time and put it down is senseless, they will keep attacking when they need to, but the results won't always be so drastic as they were this time.
