Such is life. It's crazy that animals have become more important than a human.

Why is the term "Hunter" even considered in the title of this thread. Like an Ill-informed public we are also associating "Hunters" with Animal Cruelty???!!! Nothing like shooting ourselves in the foot!

NO. Whomever is doing these things is sick and criminal, and should be dealt with that way.And for the record that is NOT a hunting arrow in the swan, it's a field tip.
