In what we hope is not a reoccurring feature on the Off the I-15 blog, we present the jerk of the day.
Today’s jerk was last seen on a surveillance tape from a car wash in Campbell, Calif. massacring nearly a dozen ducks two years ago.
According to reports, the man ran down several ducks with his car and then got out of his vehicle to hurl more ducks at the front of his car. When car wash employees arrived at work the next morning, they found at least 10 dead ducks scattered on the ground.
The death of the ducks, who lived in a nearby pond and had become a popular attraction at the car wash, has gone unsolved, prompting concern from duck lovers and a reward earmarked for animal groups.
“We just passed the two-year anniversary and there doesn’t seem to be much of a chance that the person responsible will be caught,” Mike Davis, manager of Delta Queen Classic Car Wash, where the ducks were killed told the Associated Press. “It’s not our money and we want to put it to good use.”
Nearly $18,000 will be donated to several animal hospitals and rescue shelters, Davis said.
Honestly, who kills a duck? Besides hunters. But honestly, who kills a duck?
