THE death toll of swans triggered by bird influenza has actually now reached 12 within the last fortnight.
Explaining it as the worst day in his life dealing with the River Avon, Stratford swan carer– Cyril Bennis– was lowered to tears and identified Tuesday as “terrible” after he pulled 6 passing away swans out of the water.
” Seeing them pass away and seeing the suffering of these gorgeous animals is beyond belief. When I capture them from a boat and pull them out of the river they hang onto me with their beaks since of the inconceivable discomfort they’re going through– you would not want that on anybody. I went house and sobbed after what I saw on Tuesday,” Cyril Benns stated.
