Today, I released some ducks I had hand raised with my sisters at a local lake. They were raised around my huge German Shepherd, which explains why they didn't freak out when two huge dogs came out of no where and killed three of them, in front of my little sisters. FML

Ok... I'm the lady who raised the ducks and I'm not an idiot. 1. at my lake all the female ducks except 2 have been killed or something and only males are left. So I raised some in hope of balancing the equation and hopefully see some chicks within a while. 2. I've done this before, and ducks are wild, so they have know how to survive without me, the other ones did great, but they turned out to be all male except one female, so that's why I tried again the next year. And the ducks that are born in the wild at my lake are hand fed by the people that live here and aren't scared, they run to you thinking that you have bread. 3. I found out later that the dogs that had killed the ducks had also killed some ones kittens, and a cat as well as another small dog. They are now in the animal shelter because they were dangerous. 4. My sisters were upset but next year I'll just get some more, I enjoy watching them grow, and they other four ducks are doing great, surviving like all the other ducks. :) so yeah, not an idiot, just wanted to clear that up. I thought the story would make some people laugh... so I shared it. Have a nice day... God bless.

#15 If that were the case, and I went down fighting, I would have certainly died a warrior's death. PAIN IS TEMPORARY. GLORY IS ETERNAL.

and that is why you don't release tame animals into the wild.

If it's any consolation, they probably wouldn't have been able to get away from the dogs whether they were afraid of them or not. And yeah, it's not a good idea to release tame animals into the wild. They don't really know how to fend for themselves or anything. We once raised two orphaned, sick baby raccoons, and we successfully transitioned them into the wild. You probably should have done it gradually.

Um... they wouldn't have been able to get away even if they were afraid? What... were these flying dogs?

You're a moron. I'd go into why, but many people have already covered that.

That's just the food chain... However, it sucks they died in front of you. Next time, don't release the animals you raise - eat them yourself, or keep them as pets.

Yeah, your fault. Don't mess with stuff you know ****-all about; if you'd done the right thing and turned them over to a rescue or rehabber they'd probably still be alive.

We really have no idea in which conditions these ducks were raised, therefore have no right to judge whether or not it was a good idea to raise these ducks. The OP COULD have seen the mother get killed and, under certain conditions, be able to properly take care of them (i.e. have a large/ wooded back yard that has a pond or some sort of water)....... Yes what a terrible idea it is to try and help innocent animals lives be spared. Stop acting like they were wild monkeys that they were trying to tame and keep as pets......
