The blockade is racist!

Safari workers note that the move began a few weeks ago when the swans' caretakers noticed that a pair of white swans was not allowing a pair of black swans to take a dip in the pond, which is their usual wont. The two types of swans, Safari worker explained, have until now lived side by side for many years without any particular problems.

At first, the workers thought this was a temporary measure that would end in a day or two. The caretakers thought it was aggressiveness related to the courting season of the white swans. But the white swans have not shown any signs of courtship. They have not started building nests and have not acted like swans in the midst of mating season. Still the blockade has continued.

Can't blame them. Those black swans always swim around with their music blaring so loud it can be heard several ponds away.
