Snuggled ducks are just so cute! Could these ducklings be any cuter all snuggled up together? We think not! We’re glad that the owner had a camera handy to capture the moment.

And I'm not referring to a duck marching up to you in search of food; I'm referring to a duck inching closer to you as you sit by the lake--without any food--and sitting close to you and looking right into your eyes while she grooms or settles in for a nap. This is Girlie Girl.
Foie Gras to Be Banned in California
Critter News
OCTOBER 18, 2011
With all its gluttonous excess, and with the backdrop of the animal rights protesters, the sold-out dinner became the fattiest of food as political protest, offering a clash of competing passions in a battle that has reverberated across the nation but finally settled here, the first state in the nation to criminalize the sale of foie gras, the fattened liver of a goose or a duck. Apparently, this will happen in 8 months. I had no idea! Excerpted from The New York Times.

Yes, I wanted to also say to him "Yeah dogs are great, but you didn't see my multi-year relationship with Mr. Magoo, a Muscovy duck who was blind in one eye." There are duck stories and elephant stories and pig stories, but the reason we hear about them is because they are extraordinary.

Paul Watson on the South Park Spoof

NOVEMBER 4, 2009
Yes sir, we are now on the same carnival sitting duck gallery as my old buddy Sean Penn, and Nicole Kidman’s ex-husband Tom Cruise and the Scientologists. He takes the right attitude: I could not care less how I was personally ridiculed, lampooned, and insulted. Hell, being ridiculed, lampooned and insulted on South Park is a declaration to the world that Sea Shepherd and Whale Wars are effective and have cracked through to the other side of the media culture curtain.
On Cat Killers and Mental Competency
Animal Person
JUNE 26, 2009
Mentally competent people, oddly enough, go around mutilating and killing deer and ducks and cougars, though, when doing so either is in season or some governmental body has decided their numbers need trimming. People in South Florida are still in an uproar over the mutilation and slaughter of 19 house cats (allegedly) by 18-year old Tyler Weinman, who was declared mentally competent and not a danger to himself or others (!).
Roger Cohen Realizes Dogs=Pigs, Sort Of

FEBRUARY 5, 2010
Or pig, or duck, or fish. " Dog Days in China " is a small piece with no gruesome slideshow. But it's also remarkable in that Roger Cohen, a 50-something man who writes for the New York Times, wonders: But do pigs have any more or less of a soul than dogs? Are they any more or less sentient? Do they suffer any more or less in death? Are they any more or less part of the mysterious unity of life? I think not.

On a very quiet night during a lull in the drama of the ducks, I was researching the Greyhound racing industry, and seething over its treatment of dogs as well as the support it often gets, through subsidies, to help it survive. Just then, Wilbur the Muscovy duck came waddling out from the bushes, where he had apparently spent the night very well camouflaged (he’s mostly white and I didn’t see an inch of him). And right before my eyes, I discovered that Muscovy ducks eat frogs.

"Zoo from Hell" Owner Convicted in New York
Critter News
JUNE 1, 2009
The animals included ducks, chickens, guinea hens, rabbits, sheep, dogs and cats. And people wonder why I'm so disappointed by humans. A farm-animal breeder who ran what a prosecutor called "the zoo from hell" was convicted Tuesday of animal cruelty. A jury in West Haverstraw deliberated less than two hours before convicting Robert Everle of all 13 charges of torturing, injuring and starving animals.
Seal Meat Served in Canada
Critter News
APRIL 21, 2009
Many diners are huge fans of its taste, describing the mammal's meat as somewhere between duck and veal. Definitely a niche market ,but demand has been increasing. And this is despite the bad press received by the annual seal hunts. For time immemorial seal has been eaten -- raw -- as a traditional food by indigenous people such as the Inuit. It also has been a traditional food for generations of hunters in Canada's east who serve it up roasted, or sometimes with a hearty Burgundy sauce.
On the Freezing of Birds

SEPTEMBER 5, 2009
From 2002-2005 I was heavily ensconced in a bird and waterfowl phase with sometimes daily drama of the life-and-death variety that led to my unintentional education about all things duck (Muscovies, in particular). I was watching a news segment on a wildlife rehabilitation center here in Florida. It was time to feed the bird of prey who was about to be released and while the rehabber was speaking with the interviewer someone emerged from a walk-in freezer with a tray of baby chicks.

Foie gras is the diseased liver of ducks or geese that have been force-fed through pipes shoved down their throats. To the Editor: “ Some in California Skirt a Ban on Foie Gras ” (news article, Aug. 13) might give readers the impression that California chefs are free to serve foie gras as a complimentary side dish and so evade the state ban on sales. Not so.

Then, of course, I’m a sucker for things that make me laugh, so I loved the jumping mandarin ducks, the mandarin ducks flinching and flying. Disneynature’s first film, Earth , which comes out on Earth Day (April 22,2009), follows three animal families across the globe.

9 editorial “ Justice on the Farm ” describing a “visit to a duck farm in Sullivan County where workers toil through exhausting shifts to force feed poultry for foie gras” encapsulates one of the fundamental problems facing agriculture today: the perpetual chain of exploitation that occurs on many farms. To the Editor: The sentence in your Sept.

The babies were following her like so many ducks. I see skunks ( Mephitis mephitis ) on a regular basis—usually in the evening—during my walks with Shelbie. I worry not only about her being sprayed (which has happened a couple of times), but about her being bitten. There have been reports recently of rabid skunks in this area. While Shelbie has had a rabies vaccine, it's best not to take a chance.

And then realize this: On November 13, 2006, the lame duck House of Representatives passed H.R.4239 by a voice vote under suspension of the rules, a procedure usually reserved for non-controversial legislation. With surprisingly little fanfare, President George W. Bush signed the “ Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act ” into law this past Monday (November 27, 2006). The law protects animal enterprises from courses of conduct designed to disrupt their normal profitable functioning.
