一名16岁西澳男孩因虐待黑天鹅而被起诉，最终获判四个月青年社区服务令，避免了监禁处罚1。事件发生在2024年7月26日，地点位于澳大利亚曼杜拉恩德沃尔岛附近1。这名少年与另一名男孩一起向黑天鹅口中吹电子烟烟雾并殴打该鸟类，随后将视频上传至社交媒体，引发强烈社区舆论反弹1。
少年在法院承认了两项使动物遭受不必要伤害的罪名1。法官在判决时表示这种行为"是残忍、不必要且有害的"，并指出"电子烟的使用是非凡的"，同时认为"同谋者打天鹅的行为是令人厌恶的不当行为"1。根据被告律师的陈述，这名男孩是为了在Snapchat上获得"streaks"（连续观看记录）而"炫耀"，这是"愚蠢、冲动的事情"1。
这起事件对被告家庭造成了严重影响1。该少年遭到所在学校的停学处分，其全家遭受了网络骚扰，父母和兄弟姐妹的精神健康也因此受损1。
A 16-year-old boy from Western Australia has escaped imprisonment after admitting to animal cruelty charges stemming from an incident on July 26, 2024, near Endowoll Island in Mandurah.1 The teenager blew vape smoke into a black swan's mouth while another boy struck the bird, with the abuse recorded and shared on social media.1
The youth pleaded guilty to two counts of causing an animal to suffer unnecessary harm.1 Rather than facing jail time, he was sentenced to four months of youth community service.1 The judge characterized the conduct as "cruel, unnecessary and harmful," describing the vape use as "extraordinary" and condemning the co-offender's beating of the swan as "reprehensible misconduct."1
According to the defendant's lawyer, the boy had engaged in the behavior to show off and accumulate Snapchat "streaks"—consecutive views—describing the incident as "stupid, impulsive stuff."1 The online backlash following the video's circulation has taken a severe toll on the defendant's family: he was suspended from school, and his entire household faced cyberbullying, with his parents and siblings experiencing mental health impacts as a result.1
