But some township residents are hoping to save the bird s life, urging it be relocated instead.
Residents told News 12 New Jersey that the swan is simply protecting its young in Brick s Seawood Harbor. But the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the bird is too aggressive. When that happens, the solution in most cases is to trap and kill the swan.
Other neighbors have also said the swan s aggressive behavior has been fueled by people taunting and badgering the bird and its family. Fast moving water vehicles don t help, either, because the swans get defensive.
The only way the swan could be saved is if the state Division of Fish and Wildlife issues a permit allowing relocation. If not, the bird will be killed.
