«Breaking News» Anger as family of swans are killed in 'air gun attack'

A family of swans has been shot and killed in a 'senseless' and 'cruel' suspected air gun attack.

The bodies of five cygnets and both of their parents were discovered wrapped in plastic bags after they were thrown down the bank of a stream. 

X-ray images revealed one of the birds was peppered with pellets or shot to its body, neck and head.

Kent Police were called to the scene in the village of Benenden in Kent last Sunday and the RSPCA has launched an investigation.

RSPCA inspector Dave Grant said: 'I'm keen to find out who is responsible for this senseless attack on this family of swans.'

Two of the birds' bodies were examined by staff at RSPCA Mallydams Wood Wildlife Centre in Hastings, East Sussex.

The RSPCA is appealing for information after the bodies of the birds were discovered wrapped in plastic bags and thrown down the bank of a stream in Benenden, Kent

'It's clear that these poor mute swans have been shot and killed deliberately - one of the birds was peppered with pellets,' said Mr Grant.

'It's absolutely disgusting that someone would purposefully target and kill these beautiful birds, and it's heartbreaking that an entire family has been wiped out in this cruel incident.'

Pc Daniel Perry said: 'Kent Police was called at around 10am on November 24 to a report a number of swans were found dead in plastic bags by a stream in Stepneyford Lane in Benenden.

'Officers from the rural task force attended to carry out inquiries at the scene, and are continuing to assist the RSPCA to establish the circumstances of the incident.'

The RSPCA is calling for better regulation of air weapons after receiving 884 calls reporting air gun attacks on animals across England and Wales last year.

The animal welfare charity said there were 51 calls from Kent - the second highest figure in the country - with wild birds, wild animals and cats most likely to be injured by air guns.

Mr Grant said: 'Please can anyone with any information about what has happened to these birds, where they've come from or anyone who may have seen something suspicious in the area over the weekend contact us by calling our appeal line on 0300 123 8018.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
