Duck Gets Restraining Order Against Neighbor With Air Rifle

Duck gets "order of protection" after attack

Now that's funny.
poor guy was probably just hungry.

Funny at 1st, but really disturbing if you think about.
If the duck just walked back and forth qwaking all day bothering you I can see the humour,
but if the shooter just shot a neighbours non-invasive pet for kicks I think he needs
pschyciatic (sp?) help, or a jail sentance.
Sure its just an air gun, but shooting someones pet thru the neck in its own yard is pretty serious in my mind.

Poor little Duck.

Sorry, Ive still got a nice wine sauce in mind for duckie.

In 2006, former New York Governor George Pataki signed into law a provision to include pets in orders of protection.

I find this just as disturbing.

I find this just as disturbing.

I was wondering if anyone would mention this. At first glance, it seems like good law. Then again, it just might open up the way for more abuse of the justice system.
