Ottawa's Royal Swans
These photographs show the swans locked up
in their dismal housing conditions at the Leitrim Road facility.
Cramped outdoor enclosures that are
overgrown with shoulder high weeds and even smaller
dirty pools would not meet humane standards for even
short-term care, let alone be acceptable for continuous
captivity (the Royal Swans have a wingspan of 7.5 to 8 feet).
Their wings are elevated, a sign of stress, and
feathers are scattered everywhere.
