This statement got me curious, so I looked up what is considered to be a treasonous act in Great Britain. There are quite a few, but I saw nothing about killing or eating wildlife. Please take a moment, when you can, to describe how eating a swan is treasonous?  I can certainly see it as being illegal ...
