Who attacked the Donald duck? This is the question that everyone is asking at the moment in Saint-Nolff near Vannes (Morbihan). Having his habits in the pond of the town, this mallard duck has been walking around for a few days with a knife stuck in his neck. “You can see the blade coming out the other side,” says Sophie Martins.
President of the Pinocchio et Sauvageons association, this defender of the animal cause has been trying since this weekend to help the duck. Unsuccessful so far. “We try to save him but we still haven’t managed to catch him,” she says. Even the firefighters failed. »
“He eats and continues to fly”
Because as surprising as it may seem, the duck continues to lead its life with its congeners despite the knife planted in its neck. “No vital organ was affected because otherwise he would have died, underlines Sophie Martins. We can still see that he is embarrassed but he eats and continues to fly, hence the difficulty in catching him, ”continues Sophie Martins.
If she succeeds, she will entrust the bird to the Piafs association, which manages a care center for wildlife in Languidic near Lorient. “We have to take him to the operating room to remove the knife,” says this former nurse. Shocked by this act of cruelty, she filed a complaint on Wednesday afternoon with the Questembert gendarmerie for animal abuse.
