AN environmentalist is fearful that bird
slaughtering is on the rise after a carcass
was discovered at a reservoir last week.
It appeared that the swan had been captured
before its throat was slit and breasts removed.
The incident occurred last Thursday at
the Welsh Harp, also known as the Brent
Reservoir  170 hectares of open water,
marshes, trees and grassland.
Clive Cohen, right, from the London
Wildlife Trust Barnet group, urged the
public to rally together to prevent it from
happening again.
He said: Im very anxious for
people to keep an eye open. If they see
any incidents, they should report
them to the Wildlife Crime Unit.
The reservoir, in Cool Oak Lane, provides a
valuable habitat for wildlife and is a designated
site of special scientific interest, as well as being
a popular venue for sailing and walking.
Judy Shepherd, who sits on the Welsh Harp
joint consultative committee, expressed her
concern for the wildlife. She said: Its wrong and
sad they [the perpetrators] had dumped the
swan after taking what they wanted from it.
There is nothing anybody can do  the
local safer neighbourhood team for West
Hendon is now down to one constable and
one PCSO and has other things to
do, so its not a priority.
Killing a swan can result in a
six-month jail sentence and/or a
fine of up to 贈5,000.
Despite this, a number of inci-
dents have occurred across the
country recently.
In April, three severed swans heads were
found in front of a pub near Milton Keynes, in
Buckinghamshire, and the previous month,
Husan Fidan, 46, from Turkey, was caught on
camera seizing a swan and beheading it at a lake
in Hildenborough, Kent.
He was filmed stuffing the decapitated animal
into his rucksack before fleeing the scene 
and later admitted killing and eating the swan,
claiming not have known the act was illegal.
A spokeswoman for the RSPCA told The Press:
There was a body of a decomposed swan, but we
cannot be certain how or when it died.
It is possible it may have been the target of
other wildlife after it had died and there is no
concrete evidence that this was a deliberate
attack by a person.
We would certainly be very concerned if this
was a deliberate attack and urge anyone with any
evidence to call us on 0300 123 8018.
