front page news, originally uploaded by Lizzie~Belle.

Our friend Mr Prissy made the front page of the local daily newspaper today. Seems he attacked a woman and her small children the other day.

OK, here's the thing: they are territorial animals. Who are nesting. There are signs all over the park admonishing people to not feed the wild animals. Which people go ahead and do anyway. With small children in tow.

Even if these folks were not feeding them, other people (and we all look the same to them) have. They were probably too close to the nest (which is fenced off and signed now).

As a friend commented on Facebook, these are wild animals, not lawn decorations. Have a little common sense, people!

You can read the whole story here. Do not read the comments if you wish to stay sane.

I never read the comments... that amount of crazy is disorienting.

I totally agree! People need to leave the poor swan alone, already! I chanced away someone who was poking around *my* babies once, so I am in complete sympathy.

It's just mind-boggling how many people have absolutely no common sense.

Excuse me, those people are INVADING THE SWAN'S TERRITORY. How would they respond to a housebreaker?

Not too bright, these folks. *g*

Poor old Mr Prissy. He's got enough to worry about just now, without wandering humans to add to his concerns.

I know! People can be so clueless.
