Her claim was that she got the duck from a friend who raises mallards. If the duck was white, green, purple or red (domestic type duck) then there would be no problem. Since it was a mallard, it had to have one of those identifiers before she could keep it. I'm sorry, but I have to side with the wardens on this one. Where do you draw the line? Pick up a baby fawn and bring it home, pick up a baby raccoon and bring it home, pick up a baby whatever and bring it home......I don't think so. Wildlife belongs in the wild. Someone in that office was bothered enough by her having that duck in diapers and waddling around on tile floors to call it in. Personally, I'm outraged that the director of the department gave them the duck back and didn't back his officers. My two cents worth even if it doesn't have anything to do with fishin'.
