Wis. woman braves traffic, saves 14 ducklings

WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) — A mother duck didn't survive her walk across a busy

Wisconsin roadway, but a motorist made sure the 14 ducklings stayed safe —

even one that wiggled under her dashboard.

 

Angela Speed of the Wisconsin Humane Society says the good Samaritan was driving

in West Allis, a Milwaukee suburb, on Friday when she saw the newly hatched

mallards trying to cross a busy road.

 

The woman told Speed that a vehicle in front of her appeared to intentionally

hit the mother duck, leaving her ducklings confused in the middle of the road.

 

The woman gathered each into her car and took them to the Humane Society.

 

But an hour later, she heard a peep. A mechanic took apart her dashboard and

found the 14th duckling. Speed says the brood is healthy and expected to

survive.

Some of my friends sit around every evening

And they worry about the times ahead

But everybody else is overwhelmed by indifference

And the promise of an early bed

You either shut up or get cut up, they don't wanna hear about it

It's only inches on the reel-to-reel

And the radio is in the hands of such a lot of fools

Tryin' to anaesthetise the way that you feel

Shame about the mum but she would rather her babies were the

ones who survived.

 

Several years ago we were driving across the Yorkshire moors and

there were dead lambs all along the road for a couple of miles.  They were

bloody, obviously hit by a car, and because there were so many it was obvious

that a car had been aiming at them – probably to see how many they could get. 

Some people are so sick.

That's so sad and disturbing and I think people who would do that are dangerous people.Patricia--- On Sun, 4/25/10, jo.heartwork <jo.heartwork wrote:jo.heartwork <jo.heartworkRE: nice to see there are still some decent ppl in the world Date: Sunday, April 25, 2010, 4:02 AM
