'This situation is not uncommon,' an RSPCA spokesman said to Daily Mail Australia.
'We often have reports of people going to parks and removing birds like pigeons or ducks.

He was filmed holding it over a plastic bag held by his young son
Animal activists have shared outrage after watching the footage online
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

The incident has been lodged the RSPCA as a cruelty complaint and an Inspector will attend to the animal as soon as possible.

There’s also a huge Chinese meth manufacturing problem.
Huge.
Help it into his oven.
No!We no see cat of yours.Please don’t ask again!
Who ordered the peeking duck?
There you go, didn’t they always tell us that Asians will eat anything?
Dogs disappear on Oahu all the time. Recently some groundskeepers at a golf course got caught cooking up some guy’s missing dog.
I’m sure USSC Chief Justice John Roberts would have no problem calling the duck a tax. Or is it a fee?
A VERY common crime in China is people stealing privately-owned dog pets and then COOKING THEM.
It happens all over China on a very regular basis.
Honestly who is stupid enough to think he was “helping” the duck.
Thanks for hijacking the thread to abortion.
Its just so trite.
I remember when the local animal shelter finally realized what the Vietnamese immigrants were doing with all the cats and dogs they “rescued”.
True but trite, a no no? What, another freeper I insulted?
They meant helping of duck.
Doing this to threads that have nothing to do with abortion is like playing the Hitler card.
Its gets old real, real fast. Detracts, not helps you.

Because it was by the viaduct?
Guessing you live on the east coast LOL
