Jesus, the article comments are ridiculous. Would it be OK if they were farmed to be eaten? If that's the case, why isn't all the fish we eat farmed? Had no idea swans were a protected species, actually. Is there just feck all of them or what?

From the days of English rule - I think it was Queen Victoria? She liked swans so had them protected by law.

Fuck her, I'm going to eat several out of protest, singing rebel songs and wearing the tricolour like a cape as I engage the beasts in feathery battle.

Bewick's Swan.
Numbers here have declined from over 1,000 to less than 300 during the last swan census (2005).

The Bewick Swan is in decline since 2004
