my daughter lost some of her ducks to a snapping turtle in her pond.....a friend of ours also lost his ducks to a snapper in his pond...he finally got a shot at it and it took 3 days for the dead thing to float to the surface...2 foot long and weighted almost 25 pounds...

Thanks Free ThinkerNY. Just adding, not pinging. Big snapping turtles? But no, this is happening in Britain.
pike, catfish and even mink have been suggested as possible culprits

Don’t let the AFLAC duck near that place!

Maybe it is a rabid beaver?

The creature is believed to have killed at least three fully-grown birds at the lake, leaving only a smattering of feathers as evidence of the crimes.

When did lunch become a crime? If a duck dinner is wrong, I don't want to be right!

Re: #3. It sounds exactly like what a snapping turtle will do. The preferred method for zapping the beasts is to take a line and hang a chicken leg off a pier, and then take a .22 rifle and wait for that head bobbing up.

I have seen some real big pike over there. Caught one while fishing-about a 36 incher. And believe me a big pike will snap up a duck in a hurry.

I dont think they got snappers over there, at least I ddont recall them talking about them.

They dont like to eat pike over there either. I told them that if they dont like the bones, just can the cripples.
