For some reason I just cannot summon any outrage over this...

The remains of a swan have been found barbecued near Queen Elizabeth II's castle in Windsor, police said.

By law, all unmarked mute swans in England and Wales belong to the queen.

The swan had been killed and burned over the weekend, Thames Valley Police said. Its remains were found Sunday by a local council officer, who contacted police.

Investigated as a theft? Swans and all other wildlife don't, or shouldn't, belong to anyone. I'd rather people didn't kill swans though. If anything the "crime" should be animal cruelty.

Which is, under British law, virtually all of them. The purpose being, I assume, to assure their legal protection from deliberate injury or death.
