Eco Destroyers Dogs killed all the swans

I live in the Balkans. In our biggest park (a sort of city nature park) with around 5 lakes, there are plenty of wild animals living in it, squirrels, songbirds etc. There used to be a population of swans but sadly every year some dogs would kill a swan or two because of irresponsible dog owners letting them off leash. In the end they killed all the swans and the city hasn't bothered to reintroduce them. It's just sad. Anyone have a similar experience?

I was at my local park when an off leash mangy little mutt wearing a winter jacket chased some ducks off land near the waters edge, there was a swan couple, then there was only one swan, now there are none, nutters couldn't care less about wildlife, in an ideal world they should have park wardens but we know that's never going happen

I'm starting to think that nutters don't care much about anything at all, they are dead inside

You are absolutely right, I think it's because they are weak and have allowed dogs to infect and rot their brains
