THIS is the horrific moment a tourist killed a swan — by dragging it out of a lake for a selfie.
The Sun reports that the woman, allegedly from Bulgaria, was snapped grabbing the bird by its wing before dragging it out of the lake in order to pose for photographs with the distressed bird.
The cruel tourist was pictured with the swan, on March 4, on the shoreline of Lake Ohrid, south-western Macedonia, posing with it before dumping it heartlessly on the ground.
Once the unidentified woman had her fun, she then left the winged creature to die alone on the beach.
Appalled witnesses spoke to local media about the event.

They described how the swan did not respond to the woman approaching it, as the birds are used to tourists visiting the lake.
Despite the swan being clearly upset at being manhandled as it struggled against the woman’s grip, she did not let go.
Witnesses told Macedonia Online the swan lay “motionless” on the beach after the incident before later dying.
This latest example of animal cruelty for the sake of a ‘selfie’ comes just weeks after a baby dolphin died after being passed around a Florida beach for photos.
