Who Would Kill Swan Research Paper

Who Would Kill A Swan? Every time I go to the Chesapeake Bay I love to watch the birds swim round. I especially love to watch the ducks and the swans. However, I have noticed that the swan like to fight with the other birds. They seem to be extremely aggressive. Also, having going to a high school where all my sciences are marine based, I knew that these birds were actually doing a lot of harm to the bay. Something needs to be done about these birds, or they entire ecosystem of the Chesapeake Bay will be at risk.
Mute swans were first brought to Maryland by estate owners. They wanted the swans for lawn ornaments because they are considered to be such beautiful birds. Before this time, there were no wild swans in the state of Maryland. Then, in 1962, five swans escaped from the estate and began to breed in the Chesapeake Bay area.
Some groups feel as though the problems of the Chesapeake Bay are all human related. They feel as though the DNR is choosing to kill the swans as an easy out to handling the much bigger problem of pollution. These animal right groups want the DNR and Chesapeake Bay Foundation to concentrate on cleaning up the pollution of the bay and surrounding areas. It is their beliefs that by doing this, then the submerged aquatic vegetation will become healthier and begin to grow back.
In my personal opinion, this is not an issue of pollution. These swans are destroying the environment. They are eating the vegetation, faster than it can regenerate itself. This is a very severe issue. Many other animals use this vegetation as their predominate food source. Without the vegetation, the entire ecosystem of the bay is thrown off. It will become very hard for anything to survive. The vegetation also helps to filter out some of the pollutants in the bay. So, the less vegetation, the worse the pollution in the bay will become. We can not let this happen to the
