Have you ever heard the saying, "No good deed goes unpunished"?
Simon Cowell of Wildlife Aid got a call about a cygnet (baby swan) stuck in a chain link fence along the Thames. It would have been a routine rescue, except that the swan family was standing by, and the father did not like the interference of this human at all. His overprotectiveness discouraged Cowell not one bit, but it did leave him a little bruised. (via Daily Picks and Flicks)
Granted, it's human intervention that created the problem by constructing this particular fence, but there must be similar circumstances of narrow, inflexible passages in nature. So one can't help but wonder if the cygnet wouldn't have been able to eventually realize that it couldn't pass through and be able to back out and get free on its own.
