We do not understand the violence that can be poured on a defenseless animal and what happened on the banks of Lake Iseo is not that yet another confirmation. A female swan specimen died after being taken with stone and beating.
The terrifying episode has occurred in recent days in Toline, a hamlet of Pisogne. Here, according to what is learned, the swan protected his eggs among the reeds. Now only a lifeless body remains due to one bloody death sentence.
Some passers -by who would have noticed the swan and alerted the police to launch the alarm. Baskets and stones were found next to the carcass with which the animal would have been hit.
The Leal Association, an antivivisectionist league, has filed a complaint against unknown persons so that the managers of this vile gesture are identified.
“The killing of a sworn mother who was protecting her eggs is an unacceptable act of cruelty that affects not only the life of a defenseless animal, but also the very value of civil coexistence and respect for nature. Only with greater awareness and a decisive action can we hope to stop this escalation of violence against animals” commented Gian Marco Prampolini, President of the Leal.
The story leaves astonished also because, as certified by previous reports, and other birds in the area. In 2024, several carcasses of swans and ducks of the lake were found between Marone and Vello. The animals had been tortured with similar ways. All this is simply unacceptable.
