Maryland Natural Resources Secretary John Griffin announced Monday that he was following the recommendation of a state task force and continuing efforts to eradicate the mute swan through lethal and non-lethal means.
Although the population of the invasive bird in Maryland has dwindled from 4,000 to about 500, the state panel recommended that they be eliminated entirely to protect wetlands and endangered native birds.
Animal rights activists have opposed killing the birds.
