Beloved Manlius Swan Faye Killed and Eaten by Teens in New York Village.
TL;DR
Three teenagers allegedly beheaded Faye, a mother swan, and stole her babies from the Manlius swan pond. They then took Faye back to one of their homes on Syracuse's Northside and ate her. The cygnets are now under the care of a biologist. The two younger suspects will go through the family court process, which means their records will be sealed from the public. The 18-year-old is also eligible for youthful offender status.
