A man staying at an Embassy hotel in St. Paul, Minn. was arrested Sunday for beheading a duck from the hotel lobby pond. Scott D. Clark, 26, of Denver, Co. apparently grabbed the duck by its neck and ripped its head off. Hotel guests and even a security guard watched the event unfold. Clark said after the attack, "I’m hungry. I’m gonna eat it." He was alledgely drunk.
Clark has been jailed on suspission of animal cruelty and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
If he is convicted of animal cruelty he could face up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine.
An excerpt from the story reads...
"[The] incident was “unconscionable,” and that having live ducks in a hotel lobby puts them at risk of being stepped on or run over by suitcases."
The article did not specify the duck's breed.
The Embassy location in St. Paul, Minn. where the alledged animal curelty occurred on Sunday.
So the poor ducks should be more worried about skid marks from suitcases, rather than crazed drunken men snapping their necks off?
