The town of Manlius in upstate New York is mourning the loss of Faye, a swan who was stolen from the village pond over the weekend along with her four cygnets. The cygnets, or baby swans, were recovered, but officials say the mama swan was eaten. Three teenagers were arrested Tuesday on charges including grand larceny and criminal mischief in connection with the swan-napping. Police say two of the suspects, aged 16 and 17, were released to their parents because they are juveniles. The third is 18 and was awaiting arraignment. Information on their attorneys wasn’t available.

Who eats a swan?

    Who receives a swan('s carcass?) from three teenagers and just…cooks it, no questions asked? Even if they’re family that’s…why? Like, whatever answer they gave for having it in the first place probably should’ve tipped you off that they’d done something illegal, seeing as Syracuse is next door to Manlius you’ve probably heard or even seen these things in that pond, and you’ve probably been drilled by signage that doing stuff to these birds in New York state is illegal. Dumbfucks, all of those involved.
