Arrow removed from injured swan

A message from Jim Carlin:
"Late this afternoon (Tuesday,) representatives of All Species Kinship in Battle Creek, Sophia
and Mike responded a 2nd time to meet with us at the Kalamazoo River.
They were not able to totally secure the large male swan, Dale, however were able to
remove the 28 inch arrow. Dale and his family then headed for a more quieter spot on
the Kalamazoo River, but it appears the swan will not even be in need of medical
treatment.
"The officials told local residents to monitor the behavior of the swan over the next
few days but the removal of the arrow clearly seems to have improved Dale's
disposition. They have offered to return if the swan appears lethargic and transport
him to a Kalamazoo veterinarian if medical treatment is required.
"Thank you to our friends in the media and to the many people who called offering
assistance. We heard from individuals all over Michigan and northern Indiana.
We will put up some additional information on the YouTube swan video. If you have
any questions, feel free to call All Species Kinship or myself.
Thank you again."
