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

Mmm...my Chinese cookbook has recipes for duck.
Looks like this Duck’s goose is cooked!
FOB Chinese guy going to make some Peking Duck?
Asians, especially Chinese do crap like this. Years ago at New Mexico Tech they had a problem with the Chinese graduate students helping themselves to the ducks in the ponds on the golf course.
Is he from Peking?
In the Chinese community it’s considered ok to break any rule as long as you don’t get caught.
Take a duck for dinner, get in trouble. Abort your own child—no problem.
But I,,,I do not understand the problem, Officer. It was going to be a Service Duck for my poor blind wife.
Do you wish to deprive a sightless woman of the one thing that will make her smile and dance again?
Those people are stupid.
The meat’s fresh!
Obviously Peking duck was on their menu.
Peking Duck flambe coming up!
Yes, I believe this became a fresh dinner.
“The Tragedy of The Commons.”

Good. I wish the local Asian population would do the same with the canada geese.
Maybe there really is chicken in that chicken chow mein!
At least it wasn’t a cat.
