So that's where the swans all went..

[Ismene]

A Turkish man caught stuffing a beheaded swan into a backpack has apologised and said he did not know what type of bird it was - but that it had 'tasted nice'.

Hasan Fidan was arrested after an angler saw him bundle the dead bird into his bag at Bennett's Lake in Hildenbough, Kent, and handed a photograph of him doing so to police.

The 46-year-old has now been fined £110 by magistrates and ordered to pay a further £85 in costs and a £20 victim surcharge after he admitted killing the swan on March 18 this year.

Unemployed Fidan said he had not realised that killing a swan was against the law.

'I did not know what type of bird it was. For me it was any type of bird

Fidan, who has lived in Britain since 2006, was spotted by fisherman Bob Morris, 64, as he leapt over a fence at the lake before snatching the bird and hacking off its head.

When officers managed to track him down to his home in Tonbridge, Kent, they discovered they discovered the remains of the butchered swan in his freezer.

I was assured swans getting eaten was an urban myth.

A Swan is bigger than my baby Niece. Last I checked, she was human.

I know Swans arent a particularly popular band but a £110 fine is pretty lenient for killing a member..... maybe the judge wasnt a fan

We have the queens Peacocks roaming round my town and you can go prison for killing one or a meaty fine for fucking with one. It was the best grand I ever spent, such passionate lovers.

I've heard Liam Gallagher say Elvis used a gooses neck to wipe his arse too but I think it's an urban myth that comes from a book Albert Goldman wrote called "Elvis: The last 24 hours". Goldman refers to a 16th century satirical novel about an infant Gargantua who allegedly wipes his arse on gooses necks, I don't think any one actually did it.
