Okay, here's an update for you, as well as a more in-depth explanation. I'm sure some of you will rip apart what I have to say, no matter what it is, and that's fine. Most of you have taken my words, and twisted them into what ever your delusional minds wanted them to be.
Yes, I had been looking for wood ducks to raise. However I had NOT been sitting around waiting to see if a wood duck was going to walk up into some ones yard so that I could catch it, nor have I been out in the woods trying to find some to capture. Attempting to make it sound that way is just ridiculous!
I would honestly hope that NOONE would have enough free time on their hands that they would do such a thing! I should also say that I would never take any baby animal away knowing full well that its mother was close by! When it comes to a wild animal, obviously they are better off in the wild, with their mother, but I knew that I wasn’t going to leave them on a busy highway to fend for them selves! It just wasn’t going to work out well for them in the end.
At least this way I feel like I have done all that I could to give them a shot at living. You can tell me I’m wrong for doing that if you’d like, I really don’t care. I know that I would have done the very same thing regardless of whether it was a duck, goose, bird, rabbit, stray dog, you getting it, it wouldn’t have matter what type of animal it was. If it was in danger, and I knew that I could give it a little better chance at survival, I would have done it.
Someone said ‘they got there somehow’. Yes, you're correct, but you tell me how. I'm sayin, this is the city, not the country! There is NO water within 15 miles of the place (unless you count the city sewer plant), nor is there any wood land.
You can call me any name that you would like to call me. I'll tell you now, from you doing that, the only thing I would go back and change about this whole situation is I would have never signed up to be a part of this board! It's truly amazing to me how some of you have responded! I have read through some of these posts, and at one time thought rather highly of some of you but now I wouldn’t piss on if you were on fire
I may not be the brightest person when it comes to raising animals, but I knew for a fact that people around me would know what to do. Amanda has raised everything from wild rabbits, to coons, to birds, to freakin’ deer, and has yet to lose any of them. I’ve literally seen her bring a dead animal back to life. I was shocked, and a little frightened of her after she did that, but she has proven to me time and time again that she knows what she is doing, and she just has a knack for doing it!
The babies (still not sure what kind they are) are all still alive (yes, all 4 of them) and have been turned out (still not sure where some of you got that I had plans to keep them in a cage in my living room) with other animals. They come up every night with the other animals to eat and then they go back to playing.
Thanks for the input from those who actually had something to say!! It helps to know that some of you would have done the same thing I did!!
Oh…. I almost forgot…The guys that posted their numbers…. Just out of curiosity, what did that prove?? That you are tough men? Hiding behind a phone is really no better than hiding behind the net! Just a ‘for future reference’ thought for ya
And lets not for get the old sayin’ “Arguing on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics, even if you winâ€â€¦.. Well, you know how it goes
Now, feel free to quote me line by line and try to ‘bust me out’ on something that is NOT has NOT been there to begin with!
