From the Wikipedia article you cited: "The Hudson's Bay Company captured thousands of swans annually with a total of 17,671 swans killed between 1853 and 1877. In 1908 Edward Preble wrote of the decline in the hunt with the number sold annually dropping from 1,312 in 1854 to 122 in 1877."
Apparently, the company is now American owned and still exists. Of course, the usual question arises: "Which species caused this swan breed to nearly become extinct?" Anyone reading this forum will know the answer, so there's no need to send answers on a postcard, haha!
