Woman jailed after throwing a duck in Santa Cruz

SANTA CRUZ - Authorities were called to the 700 block of 41st Avenue Saturday afternoon for reports of an intoxicated woman abusing a duck.

According to a Santa Cruz Sheriff's Office, deputies received a call that a woman was drunk and was refusing to leave a business just after 4 p.m. The caller also said the woman was throwing a duck to the ground and apparently also trying to strangle it with some sort of leash.

When officers arrived at the scene, deputies found an intoxicated woman throwing the duck around. It was not immediately known whether the duck was wild or domesticated, or if it was the woman's pet.

The woman, whose name has not yet been released, was taken to County Jail on charges of public intoxication while deputies tried to catch the duck.

Deputies said Saturday that the animal appeared to be uninjured, but they planned to take it to the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter for evaluation.

“It was not immediately known whether the duck was wild or domesticated, or if it was the woman’s pet.”

Could have been all the above.

Ah, so it was the duck that was plastered!

It’s their personal life; we shouldn’t judge.

“Duke abuse is so wrong. However, men can still choke their chicken.”

However, after choking your chicken, be prepared to shave your palms daily.

Did she throw the duck off of an overpass, I mean, viaduct?
Why a duck? Why that.... why a duck? Why a no chicken?

Another “news story” where the name of the alleged “perp” is not provided, so as to preserve “political correctness”. I am sick to my stomach with the U.S.media. Ten to one she is either Korean, Chinese, or Vietnamese. This is how they do it “over there”. Get used to it.
