Justice for the Weston Shore Swans

This fund raiser was mistakenly in favour of the Swan Sanctuary rather than Swan Support. Swan Sanctuary will transfer the funds over and the correct fund raiser is located here:

This one is now closed.

On the 23rd April a nesting female swan was was shot in the neck with an air rifle and bled to death on Weston Parade by Netley Abbey leaving behind her grieving mate and five eggs that will never hatch.

Local people are devastated by the loss of these beautiful creatures that had been a feature of the area for years producing new cygnets and bringing joy to the community.

This fund raiser is firstly to offer a reward for information leading to the arrest of the person responsible and secondly to raise funds for the care of the surviving male that has been relocated and is now being cared for by the Swan Support charity.

All funds raised will go to Swan Support who have agreed to pay out the reward directly should someone come forward with the information.

We can never bring back these wonderful creatures but we can make sure the person who did this faces up to this act of horrific and senseless cruelty.

Once we have reached £500 of the fund I will offer a reward for information locally. Please help us get there quickly so we can help catch the criminal responsible.
