Sadness

I guess it's my fault for being naive.

I didn't know they hunted Mallards.

Now I'm worried about our duckling.

I knew it was for the best, but I never wanted to let him/her go. I knew it would be illegal to keep him/her, so I knew we had to find a suitable home for him/her.

I didn't know they hunted them.

Now I'm worried.

What if they set him/her free once it's older and it migrates or something and he/she gets killed? What if our duckling falls pray to humans tricks? They wouldn't do that, would they? They wouldn't set him/her free somewhere where it could get hurt, would they? No, they wouldn't. Or would they?

I dunno. I've cried a lot over it today when I found out. I'm worried. I want my duckling to live a happy and long life. I don't want it to get killed by some disgusting hunter. I know it's just the way things go, but I don't want it to happen to MY duck.

I just don't even want to think about it. I'll just hope that the rehabilitation center doesn't set them free somewhere where they could get hurt. I guess I just have to hope for the best, since I won't ever know what will happen to my duckling.

Happy fourth of July Ducky. I hope you'll be okay.

Love,
Andrea~!
