News Real: Quackers

A tamed duck ruffled the feathers of a hotel guest, the Associated Press reported.

Scott D. Clark, 26, a guest at the Embassy Suites Hotel in St. Paul, Minn., cornered the hotel’s duck, grabbed it and ripped it’s head off, police reported.

Clark reportedly told onlookers "I’m hungry. I’m gonna eat it."

Hotel security guards detained Clark until police arrived at the scene.

Police detained Clark on Sunday on suspicion of felony animal cruelty. He’s slated to appear in court today to be charged.

"I think Embassy Suites needs to take another look at this and review how they keep ducks safe, or use fish like most hotels would use," said Tim Shields, general counsel with the Minnesota Federated Humane Societies.
