Target: William Fitzpatrick, District Attorney of Onondaga County, NY
Goal: Prosecute suspects charged with killing protected swan and illegally removing her cygnets to fullest extent.
A nesting mother swan met with a horrific fate in New York. Three teenagers stand accused of breaking onto the grounds of Manlius Swan Pond in the dead of night and beheading the swan, whom local residents had named Faye. To make matters even worse, they then allegedly abducted Faye’s four young cygnets while leaving behind Faye’s mate, named Manny.
Investigators believe the suspects took Faye’s body to a relative’s house and cooked and ate her. They reportedly confessed to authorities, claiming they were hunting, that they believed Faye to be a duck, and that they planned to keep the cygnets as pets. Why they were apparently “hunting” after midnight and in an area beloved by the community and protected by the town’s government remains a mystery. The cygnets, thankfully, are now under the care of a biologist.
The suspects were charged with grand larceny and criminal mischief, but they also need to face charges for the illegal act of allegedly killing a swan and any associated animal cruelty offenses. Sign the petition below to demand justice in this disturbing case.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear DA Fitzpatrick,
The shocking killing of a swan and abduction of her young offspring, for which three suspects stand accused, has put Manlius in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. This swan, Faye, was an adored fixture in the community and protected by local mandate at her Manlius Swan Pond residence. The suspects’ claims that they were somehow unaware of this popular animal’s existence or the town’s longstanding association with swans appears highly doubtful. Also troubling is the defense that these young people allegedly decided to go duck hunting well after midnight and needed to jump the fence on a public property to do so.
If these suspects indeed had full knowledge of the criminality of their alleged acts, then the charges should not end at larceny and “mischief.” Killing a swan—and a locally protected one at that—is illegal in this state, and prosecution and possible sentencing must reflect the viciousness (including reported decapitation) of the apparent offenses. Charges of animal cruelty can and should be pursued because this swan, the mate and cygnets she left behind, and the community that loved her deserve justice.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Of course these evil little bastards knew exactly what they were doing….Just hang them and good riddance.
Fully agree…especially with the hanging. Though I’d prefer torture and leave em to rot.
that’s right…else they will do it again.
Exactly!
agree
You are totally right
💯% agree!!
OMG! I concur with every
comment. There is NO redeeming these cruel, twisted individuals that are capable of committing such an act. Let them not take up anymore air on this Earth!!!!
The only way to stop other bastards doing the same sort of thing is for the Judge to grow a big pair of balls and pass ‘death sentence’ on the fuckers. Then, see if the arrogant tossers are still smiling!!
Also it would soon travel along the grapevine as to what will happen to any other animal torturing shitbags if caught!
UNFORTUNATELY —I cannot see this happening as the bastards would I expect, have their own FREE highly paid government funded brief to say that they were really sorry, that they will be good boys and not do it again!
Well BOLLOCKS I say as the judge would not dare give them any sort of punishment as the prat would be scared of any reprisals afterwards and would not want his comfy lifestyle to be affected.
So, this is going to go on until us normal folk can meter out our own king of justice to these ‘non-caring’ murdering fuckers!
Because until the law DOES wake up and deal accordingly with these arseholes, animals and creatures are still going to suffer at the hands of bastards such as these!
I am unfortunately living in the U.K. so can only right now voice my opinions.
But you know, I am sure that very many others feel exactly the same as I.

Execute them. This is a merciful sentence for them.
Definitely!!!
Merciful you say!!!
Why merciful? These sick bastards just beheaded a innocent swan that never hurt anyone.
Execute them you say . Well, ok but make it as painful as possible so these shitbags can reflect upon what they have done.
Or better still, put the fuckers in a room and tell them they are going to die but do not tell them when! Could be a few minutes, could be hours or days!!
Then, just for fun bets could be taken as to which one of the bastards would ‘shit his pants’ first!!!
This is why we need monitored cameras in all public places. Will it stop every crime? No, but it will reduce these acts and such by about 90%. yes
THESE DISPICABLE ***INBRED*** CRETIN SCUMBAG LOSERS KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOUNG. DO NOT BRUSH THIS OFF AS MISCHIEF!! YOU DO NOT “LEGALLY HUNT” WATERFOWL OR ANYTHING AT NIGHT!!! THEY TRESPASSED TO FURTHER TRY TO ***POACH*** MORE WATERFOWL!!! PROSECUTE THESE INBRED BUBBA SCUM TO THE FULLEST!!! POACHING, TRESPASS, SHOOTING AT NIGHT, ANIMAL CRUELTY/TORTURE. NAIL THESE PHUCKTARDS!!! B4 I DO. I’ll dispatch and toss em to the coyotes…snot nosed scum…probably drive a disgusting pos mud bog spanking hoopty.
I agree well said.
What’s an “inbred bubba scum” Is that some derogatory term for a white person? You do know that these criminals are asian, right?
Hahaahahaah! Well as I said here my own comment they could be Red Neck Trailer Trash whites…OR yes, they could very well be Asians or Filppinos. Yeah that sounds racist I know…but come on. These people will eat ANYTHING they can get their lips on. And even if the kids thought she was a Duck (which I doubt) the adult relative would know. They didn’t care. Prosecute ALL of them.
Evil, pure trash.
I strongly agree those monsters need to die! That poor swan deserved to live a to peaceful life with her family. This hatred needs to end already.
I agree with all the other comments. The scum knew exactly what they were doing. I don’t care what excuse they gave, who goes hunting late at night and behind a locked gate? That gate indicated it was protected if not private or (Town) property. Throw the book at them and maybe “Bubba” will “hunt” them in jail!
The criminals who did this are asian. I don’t think they’re names are “bubba”.
Just SCUMB…karma will prevail!!!!!!!
Don’t you DARE slap them on the wrist and call it good!
Make an EXAMPLE of them and give them the highest possible charge!
What kind of sick people are they!
They knew EXACTLY what they were doing
If I find them. I’m eating them. Humans tasted very good well done
Thus is sick,evil and totally discusting! Im outraged and I demand Justice ♎⚖️ for this horrific and brutal crime of murder! Please do the right and humane thing and put these people in jail dnd charge them with the highest penalty allowed by Law to make an example that thus will not be tolerated!
What lying scum. They knew full well what they were doing. They definitely should be charged with animal cruelty as well – because that’s what’s at stake here. BTW. Keeping the cygnets as “pets?” ???? Maybe to later kill and eat them…?
Let those sobs rot.
Cowards..execute these scumbs..psychopaths
What is happening to the human race. We hurt animals kids women. We need tougher laws.
AGREED!
Swans mate for life, so he will have a miserable unhappy life and die alone. In the UK swans belong to the King or Queen and it is illegal to hunt them, if caught will lead to imprisonment (used to be hanging). I hope Karma catches up with the evil little bastards soon, their parents must be so proud NOT.
STOP calling these c*********s young men. They’re cannibals and deserve to be thrown in boiling oil alive why is it mostly people of color performing hideous acts of cruelty on animals
They knew exactly what they were doing and the family ate this poor swan on Memorial Day. The oldest, the only one that they were allowed to show on camera had a huge, smug smile on his face as he’s being led in handcuffs. That’s not remorse. That’s a big “screw you” to America!! All 3 need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Stop being lenient with these “kids” and start making an example out of them.
Where did you see the video? and what ethnicity are they????
These teens are lying and need to be prosecuted & PUNISHED to the fullest extent the law will allow. Under NO circumstances should these malicious kids get a watered-down sentence or a pass on this brutal act that has left her mate and babies without her!
Anyone that would carry out such a heinous act has an EVIL heart. These are serial criminals in the making! And the law does nothing and that is why criminals continue and the world is riddled with heinous acts of cruelty!!!!!
Maximum felony charges to the full extent of the law! They are not sorry or remorseful.
These son’s of bitches need the same fate that fell on that beautiful peaceful innocent swan named Faye. Then throw there carcasses to the wolves!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Heathens, but are they Americans?
