In a truly heartbreaking act of animal cruelty in Cambridge, England, a beautiful male swan was shot in the head with a 10mm steel ball bearing in a vicious catapult attack. This swan, who is the patriarch of his family, is now blind in one eye. The damage may be so severe that surgery could cause even further harm. This is not the first time someone shot a swan in Cambridge, and it's time for these cruel attacks to end.
Sign the petition to demand local authorities find the person responsible for this disturbing act of cruelty!
Since swans raise their young as co-parents, the rescue thankfully relocated the entire swan family in order for them to stay together. While the swan will receive proper care, he will never be able to return to its natural environment.
The Waterfowl Sanctuary says the swan likely approached the attacker for food and was brutally targeted and shot at close range.
This swan and his family now face an uncertain future. We must put an end to these harmful attacks before more innocent animals suffer.
Sign the petition to ask authorities to investigate this case thoroughly, bring the perpetrator to justice, and ensure wildlife like this swan are better protected in the future!
