Swan Late

It just shows how differently people respond to particular species. In New York, there is talk of culling the 'alien' Mute swans (http://www.universityherald.com/articles/7596/20140218/new-york-state-environmentalists-propose-mass-killing-of-invasive-mute-swans-many-oppose.htm). I guess that they don't have a Queen to act as their patron. I must admit that people tend to think these birds are more dangerous than they really are. They are strict vegetarians but generally do not mass as in the above picture as groups are quite territorial. I hope they are not going to waste all that meat!
