No its not, someone could have killed them with a pointy stick or by throwing rocks at them.

Its a good example of how people pick on an incident and then want to legislate against that incident when we already have laws covering it.

It was in a public place, they did not have permission to shoot there, they did not have permission to shoot the ducks.

Already covered by the law, those responsible should be locked up.

I read the article and I could jump to conclusions about who would want 6 ducks and some scrap metal but I am sure most people reading it will have thought the same thing.
