Cynthia Ruddell claims Lolita Rose's duck attacked her after it wandered down the street.

Ruddell's attorney, Gregory Price, told KATU, "... The duck flapped its wings at her and knocked her back and she fell down on an outstretched hand and fractured her wrist in two spots."

The incident happened May 7, 2012. Ruddell broke her right wrist, sprained or strained her elbow and shoulder, and suffered a rotator cuff injury.

The lawsuit claims Rose knew the duck had, "Abnormally dangerous propensities in attacking people."

Hey, if you’ve never been attacked by a duck, be careful. I, as a 7 yr old, was traumatized by our family duck who had decided I was fair game & would peck at my feet & legs. He didn’t last long. But I still don’t like ducks!

When I was a teenager my dad came to pick me up from school (I fell off a trampoline) and he parked by the lake outside the nurse’s health room and while he was carrying me to the car the stinking curmudgeon Swan that owned that lake went cannibal on my dad. Poor guy barely made it in the car. That freaking swan was apesh**, attacking the tires, flapping, flying at the car. Sheesh. My dad wanted to run the thing over. What moran puts a killer swan in a lake by the school office? Kids were deadly afraid of that swan. I didn’t go near that lake for the four years I went to that school. Ahh, the good ole days when all kids had to worry about was killer swans at school.

When I was a kid I as attacked by a goose. I punched it. The end.

I'm probably the most dedicated animal lover here, but THAT'S FUNNY.

“Was his name Howard? I was wondering what happened to him.”

I can tell you the sad demise of Howard the Duck. A customer ordered two right wings at KFC and poor Howard was waddlin’ by at the wrong moment.
