    I passed about 30 swans on a pond near Mullingar last weekend. Is there an obscure law against killing them. Could they be bred as food. Did any of you ever eat swan.?

    I think theres some rule in england

    I have had swan on holiday and absolutely loved it,

    I wouldn't go killing one nor risk getting kicked by one for it though

    It's illegal to eat swan in the UK, Only the royal family are allowed eat it.
    That's a fact, check it out.

    I'm pretty sure it's illegal here too. I'm going to lock this thread on that basis.
