I DON'T normally respond to news items but on this occasion I'm absolutely appalled at the killing of the swan in Little Lever.
I am a self confessed wild life lover frequenting Rivington every Sunday. This latest killing of an innocent bird just highlights today's society. It was probably uneducated people who think going around with an air rifle and shooting wild life and people will highlight their day. I just hope the correct authorities chase this matter up and justice can be done.
The swans obviously brought joy to many people including young children who fed them. Don't forget killing swans it is a serious offence and I hope justice will prevail.
