A Bulgarian tourist has been blamed for killing a swan when she dragged it out of a Macedonian lake so that she could take a picture with it.

The unidentified woman is seen smiling in photos, tugging the distressed white swan by its wing, before leaving it on the shoreline of Lake Ohrid to die, according to Macedonian International News Agency.

She reportedly stepped into the lake and dragged the swan out, shocking onlookers from her large tourist group.

According to the witnesses, the swan was peaceful and did not react to the woman approaching it, as they are use to the presence of tourists.

She then took a picture and left the swan, who “remained motionless on the beach after the encounter” and died later on, according to MINA.

A similar incident happened just last month when a group of tourists in Argentina pulled an endangered baby dolphin out of the ocean to take seflies. The animal ending up dying causing a global outrage.
