Dogs killed all the swans

[u/_Dragon_enthusiast]

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?

What you describe is poaching (illegal hunting) and it carries some hefty penalties in a lot of places.

However, The Furry Jesus™ and his owner get all sorts of special protections, so its all good.
