ORLANDO -- Orlando police are on the lookout for a man suspected of strangling a
signature Lake Eola black swan late Sunday night.
The attack, witnessed by several bystanders on the south side of Lake Eola toward
Central Boulevard, occurred between 10:30 and 10:45 p.m.
Lt. Luis Tanzi said a witness called police to say a white male was seen "choking
a black swan and then throwing it in the lake."
Tanzi said investigators have several leads and are confident they will have a suspect
by the end of the week. If arrested, the person could be charged with cruelty to
animals or abuse.
(as a person who has been going to Lake Eola since I was a baby, it baffles me that someone could do something so disgusting to such a beautiful creature. I hope they fuck him up BAD when they catch him. The swans at Lake Eola are part of Orlando's Downtown trademark in the Historic District and it is especially sad for the partner in this case because swans (unlike people), mate for life and now this poor animal is probably heartbroken)...
