After watching that video, that's the first thing that came to my mind.

"Nelson and Cregar released the ducks in the area where their mother was last seen."

I won't say it, but I'm thinking it.

Oh, what the hell. Those little ducklings are DEAD!

DEAD, do you hear me? Dead little ducklings, seven in a row.

But everyone who wasted their time feels better.

"Nelson and Cregar released the ducks in the area where their mother was last seen." And then, they were promptly eaten by a feral cat.

I will NEVER be tired of these stories.

/NEVER

Those little ducklings are going to grow up to be delicious.

Most baby ducklings die anyway, even with mommy duck and daddy duck close by.

I used to watch the annual crop of cute little ducks dwindle away at the Magic Kingdom every spring: mama duck would start off proudly with anywhere from 8 to 13 of the fuzzy little niblets, and even in the protected inner park ponds she'd be lucky to have two or 3 by migration season. Rats, cats and possums, and just plain starvation and poison from chlorine and insecticide finished the rest off.

Out on the Rivers of America, they just got lost, or swept away by the big boats. Sad, but that's life.

TFA: Dayton police blocked off one lane of traffic while residents, and members of the media, brainstormed on how to get the ducklings out.

Your tax dollars at work! Sure, those cops could be out solving crime, but that takes effort and actually gets something done.

A couple people already continued this, but here was mine.

...but the mother was already gone, and the ducklings died all alone.

Baby ducks are incredibly cute, but like Gyrfalcon says, most don't make it. I've seen the same thing happen every year at my job where I'm around duck nesting areas. Nature can be pretty rough sometimes....

Without ducks we wouldn't have poop in our ponds or an activity in which our elderly could participate.

Why can't the elderly poop in the pond as well? I don't see why we can't have it both ways.

There goes God's plan to create a breed of superior ducks whose ducklings fear sewer grates and avoid them. Way to interfere.

You obviously haven't met my grandmother.

I had a green the other day, but it was a follow-up with little real importance and the headline was in a standard format that ended in a cliche. So no.

Ok, am I the only one who wanted to shoot the reporter? WTF is up with that affected newscaster speech? Why, why, why do local news reporters talk like retards?

I stopped counting the fresh batches of baby ducks around my apartment. It was too depressing seen one or two fewer of them each day.

cant deal with local newscasters

I believe in the philippines a delicacy involves cooking nearly hatched duck eggs. You then remove the shell and eat the half formed duckling.

Holy shiat, that's farking funny. Momma duck's like: WTF?!?

Baby ducklings? As opposed to what, adult ducklings?

Balut. Speaking as an American, I can say this about that: BARF

/been to the Philippines
//but they eat it where I live, too

nice headline Capt. Kirk!

Somewhere there's a very happy snake. I'd jump out of my car to help some baby snakes across a road before I'd help some ducks. I've never had a snake shiat on my shirt while I was raking leaves before.

I think we need to sue the manufacturer of the gratings. They can make them smaller, surely. :)

Looks like I picked the wrong week to save baby ducklings.
