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 ...

 

Because eating the monarch's dinner is not allowed! It is theft of royal property and therefore causes harm to the monarch.

 

Ridiculous, I know, but....

 

That's why I emphasised 'technically'. It has never been enforced in modern times and I think never would be.
