I am sure any decent person reading about the vicious killing of the male swan at Breightment would have been filled with fury as I was.

Whatever goes on in these people's minds is beyond my comprehension.

It is almost likely that these creatures will be caught, and what I don't want to hear is the following statement: "They may or they could be prosecuted."

I want to hear they will and the book is going to be thrown at them.

Also the thought of this gang pouncing about Breightmet with an air rifle needs to be addressed immediately.
