ATTACK!!!!

Had a right run in with a gang of young delinquents and their dogs down in the harbour this afternoon. They had 3 nasty jack russells that were let lose on the swans without any regard for the distress that they were causing. When they saw I was taking pics they turned on me using foul language and making threats against me. After they had gone a local commiserated with me about what happened but said he had been to police about the same thing but got no help there. In another picture from today I can see what looks like a swan damaging her wings.
Sent pics to The Bird Council and the local papers maybe it will bring attention to this problem.
