Who receives a swan('s carcass?) from three teenagers and just...cooks it, no questions asked? Even if they're family that's...why? Like, whatever answer they gave for having it in the first place probably should've tipped you off that they'd done something illegal, seeing as Syracuse is next door to Manlius you've probably heard or even seen these things in that pond, and you've probably been drilled by signage that doing stuff to these birds in New York state is illegal. Dumbfucks, all of those involved.

It was an Aunt? Of one of the teenagers. Poor choices all around.
