Can you still get the stocks if you kill a swan?

In the UK ,as many people will know, it is against the law to kill a swan. However, if you do decide to do away with one do it on the Orkney Islands. A Viking law states that swans that are in Orkney belong to anyone. But the second you walk onto any part of the UK that isn't Orkney, they belong to the Queen.

Killing a swan is not recommended anywhere!!
