There are fears that swans are being killed by immigrants for the dinner table
after a pair were found shot with a high-powered crossbow.
The male and female, which had mated for life, were discovered in a river with the one-foot-long wooden bolts speared into their bodies.
The pair initially survived the attack on the River Stour at Throop, near
Bournemouth, Dorset, after both shots missed their vital organs, but the
female was later found dead after rescuers failed to catch her in order to
operate.
