So I've discussed the problems with the ducks in the neighborhood lakes before and the HOA is taking steps to reduce the population, well today one of the neighborhood hausfraus on FB posted this"

PLEASE HELP - dog attacking ducks by pond right now!

Several other hausfraus have chimed in on calling Animal Control or even the cops.

My response to stir the pot:

Let it go. We've got too many ducks as it is.

I expect a bunch of angry responses and will post the fun ones here.

Ha, you evil person you. You should next post some recipes for duck gumbo.

Ask them why their feathers are all ruffled.

There is only one solution... teach them to defend themselves!

Sadly, none of these hausfraus have actually commented. They've just done the little angry face emojis on FB.

This bums me out. Maybe things will pick up after lunch.

Gumbo
Peking
Bacon wrapped
Grilled
Broiled
Baked
Turducken
Stew

Were there any good duck recipes in the OB cookbook?

Has anyone tried setting up a duck blind... just to see what would happen?

That's a bold strategy by the HOA

STRONG WORK !!!!

Is this not how the HOA is reducing the number of Ducks? Seems brilliant to me!

I like the duck blind idea.

Actually, I'd just use a pop up blind, no one knows the difference. I'd even make a semi-official sign like "NO TRESPASSING, PROPERTY OF XXXXX HOA"

Something to that effect.

Post that you called the local Chinese restaurant, they said they are on the way and will take care of the ducks and dogs.

I can bring an additional dog that would love some live bird work...

1. Can the dogs fly?
2. Can they swim fast enough to catch the ducks in water?
3. Natural selection

In the dog's defense, the ducks we're probably rapey (/ursus)

Well this has been very disappointing

That'w what she said....

Damnit, the hausfrau who posted the original message appears to have deleted it.

We can't have any fun anymore.

We're gonna need you to stake a few NRA signs in your yard.

Alright, who told her about this thread?

You should post asking the area neighbors to alert you on when the ducks are close by, as your dog has a taste for fresh Dick.

Suggest to them that they should leave little buckets of rocks down along the water's edge so that the ducks can defend themselves. Tell them if it is a good enough defense for students facing a mentally ill gunman, it should work just fine for ducks facing a dog.
