t's probably the guy who takes care of the car wash. Sick of ducks taking a dump all over his property. I've had this dilemma and my boss wanted to do everything short of killing them because it's not sanitary and they poop everywhere. Guy was fed up maybe, lol.

There should be a word for this despicable action of duck murder. Perhaps anascide, from the Latin anas for the genus to which ducks belong. If the term catches on, I claim credit.

I think they should spare no expense at getting to the bottom of this. After all, it's not as if these ducks were unborn children or something.
