Sigh...
I hope and pray that those ducks get a chance although they probibly wont. Sadly, most places aren't zoned for keeping ducks/chickens etc. If it's within REASON, I don't see why keeping a duck is any different than keeping a parrot except that you aught to put a pond out for them....
Is that so hard? People build Koi ponds all the time...
When I worked at a pet store, I knew a regular customer who adopted a duck from an abusive situation....now he has a duck farm lol!
Poor animals...people can be so...ugh....
