Once again the mindless idiots have shown their true colours, this time the barbaric attack on swans and their cygnets at Peatmoor Lagoon.

I was shocked and dismayed after reading this article on June 3. What kind of person could do such a horrific thing to these defenceless birds?

In my opinion a coward, because only a coward would attack something that wouldn't fight back.

I just hope the culprits are caught and given a sentence that this barbaric crime deserves.
