“I should have taken it as a warning.”
Yes, about her as well as him. My grandmother killed chickens on her farm, and my hippie-dippie HS friend did too when she grew up and raised chickens, but they didn’t do it out of cruelty or for “amusement”.
HAHA, probably way too true!
Here’s another story... witnesses say he smiled as he targeted them... http://dailymillennial.com/floriduh/florida-man-plows-riding-lawnmower-over-a-family-of-baby-ducks/
You’re correct.
I come from a family of hunters. My mother always said, “I want to kill it, dress it, and eat it. I don’t want to *hurt* it!” We even go out of our way to kill pests humanely.
And that’s what makes us human.

I don't rely on only one source for my news.
The thought of consuming a trash-dining duck is icky-but since I don’t have a problem going to the river to catch catfish and eat them, I probably don’t have any room to talk...
I’ve heard that pet pythons that have been turned loose/escaped are a problem in areas of Florida-I’m glad it is too cold for them here...
Both the white herons and the bigger blue herons are common-I don’t know if they eat ducklings, but I’ve seen them on the riverbank eating fair-sized snakes as well as fish and frogs.
We either burn or put bagged trash in heavy duty containers for a trash service-otherwise it attracts deer, raccoons, and animals that can be dangerous to livestock, pets and humans-coyotes, feral hogs and the occasional mountain lion.
