Taking advantage of small animals does not make you a “man” anymore than heading to your local elementary school and taking those kids’ lunch money would. [/quote]
Do you think somebody could get away with that without the mother ducks, ie the teachers, coming to stop you? Very plausible sounding proposition though.
I’ve been attacked by geese.
I go running on some trails surrounded by Canada geese, and in the springtime when they have goslings they camp out right there on the trail and expect you not to pass them. They hiss at you and get all mad. One time a goose flew at me – it felt like a serious punch in the chest.
The funny thing is, after that I was scared of geese for a while and somehow they could sense it. They started messing with me a lot more. Then I learned to studiously avoid looking them in the eye and it works. It’s bizarre, but geese can tell if you’re looking at them and they don’t like it.
I was walking through a field last summer and heard some noise so I went to investigate and then I saw what looked like a baby duck… then a pissed off turkey tried to fuck me up. I ran.If you see a baby something…walk away lol. My uncle when he was about 20 did the same thing, but it was a group of baby turkeys following a flock. The parents attacked him and they almost got their talons full of red neck scalp.
Damn, you should never mess with mama duck’s babies!
Yeah, you gotta figure 10-15 birds weighing about 20 lbs. each, and you are looking at a 200-300 lb. biomass of angry animal that wants to cluck you up.
this thread really makes me want to go find a flock of geese and RUMBLE! I feel like theres a million ways to fuck them up, they’re just fucking BIRDS! slap their heads like a handball, grab the by the neck and club other geese, spin with your arms straight out like a helicopter, sit on them, snap their wings…I gotta go!
You’re lucky they did not know blue-jay-jay.
haha

Yeah, you would think that; until you actually confront a goose.
All that goes through your mind is ‘That thing is bigger than I though…did it just hiss at me?.. WHAT THE HELL ITS FLYING AT MY FACE’… then you run while it gives chase.
And hitting the geese, those guys are resilient; when I hit one on the side of the head it just spun right back around and started attacking me again before flying away, to get reinforcements.
a) unless the OP is a dude named engarde! on a different forum, this didn’t happen to him.
b) the people upset over him attempting to steal a baby duck are hilarious.
c) I would totally steal one if I could. Having a pet duck would be so cool.

Yeah, he’d be distracted by the one in front of him while the 30 or 40 behind him prepared to feast on the flesh and stringy nerve bundles of his spine.
It would not go well for him.

a. Yeah, i’m thinking the story is bullshit.
But, if it’s not…
b. I think it’s just a selfish and cruel thing to do. What’s the point? You think it’s cool to take a baby from it’s mother?
C. …Apparently, you do.
Please tell me you’re fucking with me, anonym.
I wouldn’t steal a baby duck… but if my friend did I’d have a good hard laugh with him about it.

Why not? It happens all the time - people breed animals for profit all the time… they either sell them to be used for food or as pets.
Is it cruel because ducks are cute, or are domesticated animals that have their offspring given away privy to some comforting secret over the whole deal that wild animals aren’t?

Right, but the difference is that they stay with the mother untill they’re weened and are old enough to be away from the mother. Not while it’s still a baby.
They’re fucking ducks god damnit. They don’t even have concepts of “baby” and “mother.”

No, fucking ducks come from Canada… These are just plain ducks.
Yes, apparently they do have that parental concept. The mother attacked the guy for going after the duckling.
What would you call it? You think she was menstruating?
This is so wrong and cruel but at the same time it’s the funniest thing I have seen here this week
