Teenagers Shockingly Abuse Swan | Perth News
Description
A teen in Perth shoved an e-cigarette into a black swan’s beak, blew smoke down its throat, and had his friend slap the bird—caught on video and sparking outrage. Claiming they were helping after finding a fishing lure, they lied. A magistrate called it a “graphic and awful error of judgment,” while the older teen admitted he was just showing off. After the swan died, the teen dumped its body near a conservation park, where it stayed hidden for two weeks before police found it. Animal welfare groups are horrified. The younger boy awaits sentencing, and this case serves as a chilling reminder: cruelty, especially when recorded, has real consequences—and empathy is non-negotiable.
