NY duck gets “order of protection” after attack
Fri Apr 4, 2008 5:39pm EDTNEW YORK (Reuters) - A pet duck named Circles, shot and wounded by a neighbor with a pellet gun, has received an order of protection to keep it safe, the first duck in New York state’s Suffolk County to benefit from such an order.
Circles was in its owner’s backyard on Long Island — long known as a habitat for wild waterfowl — when it was shot by a neighbor through the neck, said Michelle Auletta, prosecutor at the Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office.
Circles, a white, yellow-billed duck, was treated by a vet and survived, she said.
The neighbor was charged with animal cruelty. At the attacker’s arraignment on Thursday, Circles’ owners received an order of protection.
