Kels20 tells us more.
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.

What #12 said, x10000000000. You soooo should have known better. YDI. Poor duckies. :(
i re-read the fml and noticed what i said made almost no sense. They live on a lake, and they wern't trying to keep them. They wern't trying to keep wild animals as pets.
Also, I doubt the ducks in that would have learned to be fearful of ALL dogs if the OP had never tried to care for them. Assuming that they were found on or around that lake, they were going to be around those same dogs anyways and probably wouldn't have lasted as long as they did.
I'm actually upset right now. Poor ducks... ;;
awwww :(
awwe! :(
#24- Funny joke, but unnecessary. There are a lot of breeds of ducks that can't fly, and sometimes domesticated ducks can't fly. Also, since they had raised them, they might have had their wings clipped so they didn't escape from their pen (and thus wouldn't be able to fly). Since the dog managed to kill THREE of the ducks, I used logic and assumed that they couldn't fly. I don't care if the ducks were raised around dogs, no duck watches their siblings get attacked and doesn't think to try and flee.
