Teens Arrested for Killing and Eating Village's Beloved Swan
TL;DR Summary
Three teenagers in Manlius, New York, were arrested and charged with trespassing, grand larceny, criminal mischief, and conspiracy after killing and eating Faye, a swan that was the unofficial mascot of the village. The teens hopped the fence encircling Goose Lake Park and killed Faye, who was nesting near the pond. They then took her body and abducted four cygnets, leaving behind Faye’s longtime mate, Manny. The teens didn’t know they had killed a swan, let alone understand her importance to the Manlius community.
