I wonder what the geese did to upset the swans, I would guess they got to close you the cygnets.
No I didn't think you were excusing anything.

All mute swans will attack other waterbirds in the breeding season - some when they only have territory and are building the nest - some are worse than others (as with people) and will not tolerate other waterbirds - one I recall had a thing for a white mallard which it repeatedly attacked some will even attack people.
This is natural behavour and no excuse for any sicko to poison swans.
