MEMBERS of the public have been left outraged after a group of youths were seen throwing stones at a young swan family at Sankey Valley Park, Warrington.
The incident has been reported to the police and images of the youths have been posted on social media in a bid to identify the culprits.
One eye witness said: “I told them off and they threatened to set my dog on fire, then threw stones at me.
“Little “darlings”, their parents must be so proud.”
Anyone who recognises the youths is urged to contact the police on 101.

As a parent myself I would be sickened, disgusted and mortified if I saw a news story like this and recognised my child and being one of those involved and I would march them down to the police station myself as I’m sure many parents would.
If not the parents then surely someone must recognise them from the photo shown above and the other ones that are circulating on social media (one seems to show a girl with long hair with them too!) and that they pass on their names to the police and/or alert their parents to what their little ‘poppets’ have been up to.
I hope the kids involved are seeing all the coverage and shares and are reading all the comments made about them too. Seems a huge number of people in Warrington think you are SICK INDIVIDUALS and are disgusted by you….so TAKE NOTE…sooner or later your family and relatives will see it, so will your teachers, your friends and their families too and maybe even your names will be circulating on social media too and you wont be able to stop it.
So do you still feel clever and brave and do you still think it’s funny what you did ? Hopefully you do have some conscience and are now realising that what you did was TOTALLY WRONG and will own up and say sorry and/or NEVER do it again and get your life on track before you fall any further down the slippery slope to becoming an even bigger social outcasts and trouble makers.
Please ring 101 and report and information to the Cheshire Wildlife Officer, the more information she had the more likely something can be done about this and other wildlife crimes. – Chair Warrington Nature Conservation Forum.
That photo should be circulated to all the local schools, somebody will recognise them. They need to be dealt with very severely.
How did they get to that age without being taught right from wrong? Strange that their parents haven’t recognised them?
