Swans used to be a delicacy like pheasant. Historically, they were served by the aristocracy and royalty at banquets and feasts. In the past, swans were a prized food, and in some cultures, they were a significant part of the diet.
True!
And swans in England were the exclusive property of the Crown.
If this swan is here in the US illegally, it needs to be
deported along with the a**holes who kidnapped it.
