Author Sir Terry Pratchett has added £10,000 to a reward to help catch the killer of 31 swans in Somerset.

Sir Terry, who lives in Wiltshire, said he was "incensed at the news". The reward currently stands at £26,080.

Ten dead swans were discovered on Tuesday near Wedmore. The RSPCA began its investigation after the first six birds were found dead on 30 January.

Sir Terry, author of the Discworld novels, added: "It's wanton destruction of a living creature."

reminds me of an episode of curb your enthusiasm.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

Secret World said a caller alerted staff to three dead swans in a field on West Ham Road, in Wedmore.
Nuff said. My ex-step-father was from Wedmore, and Gary Glitter was living there when they found the images on his computer. There must be something in the water there, to produce such a bunch of fucked up bastards. :nono:

Shame really, it's a pretty village.
