Swans attacked people on the river

A swan became a hot topic in England and was called "him", after it attacked all the boatmen on the river.

The hot-tempered Swan was nicknamed "Sir Abso", apparently not bored with any boat, whether they carried one or more people. It recently attacked eight rowers when they practiced on the Cam River, in the county of Cambridgeshire in England.

'Mr. Abso' caused so much trouble that the Cambridgeshire Sailing Association decided to send a warning about 'a hot swan' to members via email. Athlete Alan Marron, a member of the association, said children often swim to the Cam River on weekends and the bird can become dangerous for them.

'This swan has become extremely dangerous. He had surgery to pull over my face, causing my boat to tip over. At that time, I was in the middle of the river, which meant that I could not threaten the group or its children. If the swan continues to carry out such aggressive acts, there will be many people who fall into the same situation as me and they may be injured , 'Marron said.

Matt Fraylingcork, a member of the Cantabrigian racing club, said his training was interrupted because training alone on the river became unsafe. 'It is a fierce bird. I did not dare to sail on the river even when traveling with many other people. I'm scared. It attacked dozens of boats, ' said Fraylingcork.

But many people voiced their support for 'Mr. Abso'. Ruth Howlett, a boatman, said: 'The bird attacks people to protect the nest. It has lost several children. I saw a corpse of a swan on the river bank with a broken neck. Looks like someone killed it. '

A spokesman for the British Royal Guard said that the swan's anger could stem from its feeding. 'This phenomenon rarely happens, but if the swan is fed by humans, they will not be afraid of humans anymore , ' he said.
