One time we wish they were home gaming. Dumb as a box of rocks in so many ways.
Bigger question:
Why is a family so hungry they feel forced to steal their neighbor's ornamental fowl for food?
😂
If teens there are killing swans and crushing eggs as a commenter said, there are more problems. Maybe the youth should be psychologically assessed because killing animals is what violent serial killers do in their youth
Throw the book at them.
No way they were that stupid.. although this generation is dumb af.. why didn’t they just google it?
I hope these idiots are jailed & heavily fined. How can they be so stupid!!
As a sinful atheist vegan, I’d eat that swan. I’m more concerned about the people with a keen emotional attachment to the bird…beloved 😂😂😂
Awful
Is there a law against eating swans ?
They look elegantly scrumptious !
The teens should get Conservation Awards for eradicating filthy invasive Mute Swans
How do u not have a grasp of animals at teen age
Let talk about how Republicans just cut food stamps.🤔
Swan get the too cute to hunt privilege lol. Kinda hypocritical but also was this in the woods or literally a local pond? Bad journalism for leaving so many details out
Omgggggg whyyyy would u do that 😢
How tf can you not tell the difference?
If you cant distinguish a duck from a swan you shouldn't be hunting.
