Some photos show three swans had to swim through lots of rubbish in a canal. People found the graceful birds next to plastic bottles, drinks cans and even a football on Sankey Canal near Warrington in Cheshire. Frank Hill shared the photos on the Facebook group Sankey Canal Wildlife. He wrote, “This is the sad sight in one of the oldest canals in Britain.”

The canal dates back to the 18th century, when it was built mainly to ship coal to Liverpool. Pictures of the swans made people very angry. They said they should not face such conditions. Jackie Staff said, “Humans are really bad.” Louise Dixon said, “My God! That’s terrible!” Adrienne Smith added, “This happens because parents don’t teach their children not to litter.”
