Police in Mandurah, Western Australia, have charged two schoolboys with animal cruelty after a viral video showed them forcing a native black swan to inhale vape smoke. The footage, posted by The West Australian, depicts the boys on a small inflatable boat laughing before the bird is restrained and an e‑cigarette is placed in its beak. One boy is seen slapping the swan while shouting a profanity. The incident sparked community outrage, and the boys will appear before the Mandurah Children’s Court next Monday. Their identities and school are withheld because they are minors.
