This is the shocking moment a man appeared to take a duck from a public park in Sydney, placing it in a plastic bag being held open by his young son.
He was filmed picking up the bird in Camellia Gardens in Caringbah South, southern Sydney, on Saturday and attempting to place it in the bag.
A passer-by filmed him scooping up the animal gently and smile as he walked towards his son with the bird in his hands.
It is not clear whether they left the park with the animal or not. Some have suggested the man may have been trying to help the duck and not take it unlawfully. A man was filmed scooping up a duck and appearing to place it into a plastic bag as his young son held it open +3
