Why are some folks so cruel? I'm totally outraged at reading about these individuals whom treat animals this way. Would you trust folks that you know to have done something awful toward our animal/bird counterparts to be around your children?
Last year while I still residing in Oshkosh at Menominee county park, some person thought it would be funny to decapitate a mother duck leaving her ducklings to die a slow and cold death. I was very pleased when I found out about an arrest, although I do think they should have served more time behind bars.
PS: the ducklings were rescued and raised at the local zoo.
As an animal activist for all species I would like to remind everyone that these are also God’s children.

Police search for suspect in animal cruelty case

Green Bay police are looking for someone who taped fireworks to a Canada goose, ignited them and killed the bird. On Dec. 23, someone reported finding the dead bird in a driveway of the 2900 block of Gilbert Drive, on the city's east side. The police department's humane officer found the carcass with spent explosives taped to it. Police are investigating it as an act of cruelty to animals, which can bring a charge carrying a maximum penalty of 3½ years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Lt. Dave Wesely of the Green Bay Police Department described the explosives as bottle rockets.
Green Bay Police officers recently went through training to identify signs of neglect to animals when responding to calls that may not be directly related to animals, said Capt. Greg Urban. Recognizing those signs may lead to bigger things through investigation.
