[$1,000 Reward Offered In Case Of Long Island Swan Impaled By Hunting Arrow]

$1,000 Reward Offered In Case Of Long Island Swan Impaled By Hunting Arrow

Who would do something like this?

A helpless swan was shot with an arrow on Long Island. Now, $1,000 reward is being offered to catch the heartless creep, reports CBS 2’s Mark Morgan.

Animal experts believe this was no accident. An adult mute swan was found Friday with an arrow sticking through its body. It was a hunting arrow, meaning this act was intentional.

“Just to see the arrow going completely through the bird, you have to get it at close range, and you have to aim right at the bird to do that,� said Mark Lembo, executive director of the Evelyn Alexander Wildlife Rescue Center in Hampton Bays.

The arrow was removed to reveal a gruesome wound, and the swan has been recovering at the center.

“We immediately put him on IV fluids. We put him on pain medications, and obviously antibiotics. Right now he’s recovering fairly well. He’s eating on his own,� hospital technician Ryan Ortiz said.

The bird is unable to walk, but on Monday stood on its feet for the first time since coming to the rescue center.

This is just awful. Hope they catch the heartless animal that did this!!!

Courtney took two short flights , then flew to Truss on an antenna bumped her off and landed her herself, mom circled and reached out touching Courtney with a talon. Truss then took up a position on a nearby antenna.

Two short hunts (one including a stoop at a gull) for mom, no luck. They both settled down and were alert but settled in.

We are sad to report that Sally passed away on Tuesday and Amelia, who was first out of the box, passed away overnight on Wednesday.

Before she died, Amelia was taken to a rehabber because Bob and others had observed some strange behavior. The rehabber picked her up yesterday evening and Amelia seemed to be doing okay.

Right now, it's unknown what caused the deaths of Amelia and Sally. Our biologists are going to perform necropsies (autopsies) on the two birds in order to try to figure out what happened and, more importantly, to try to protect the other two birds.
