Rotterdam - Brutal attack on a breeding swan!

In the Dutch city of Rotterdam, a 60-kilogram children's tractor was deliberately thrown at the magnificent bird, as the animal welfare group "Zwanengroep Zuid-Holland" announced in a Facebook post.

At the time of the attack, the swan was sitting in its nest on a bank, incubating several eggs.

Fortunately, the projectile missed its target and the swan and eggs remained unharmed.

The animal rescuers were then able to prevent the plastic vehicle from sinking further down the embankment and destroying the swan's nest.

The animal rights activists are certain that the swan would not have survived a direct hit. It is also assumed that several people must have thrown the mini-tractor.
