Thanks for the link
I'm surprised that DEFRA haven't updated their info to match it, in that case.

No problem, thought I'd better mention it.
I'm not sure what's been covered/replaced by the gov.uk website these days, it might be due to that?

As a meat eater (though I am eating less these days) I'm not against the killing of animals for food as long it is done quickly and as humanely as possible(and the treatment of the animals before they are killed is as important), but it is beyond me why anyone would want to kill(or try to) an animal for fun/sport.

Good that the swan is on the mend.
