Beings? Ducks?
Right.

Obviously, compassion is not a trait shared by all humans.

It’s pretty common to see large flocks of ducks sleeping around the edge of a patch of open water. They will be sitting there with their heads tucked under their wings. If the jerk came up on them quickly enough, he could hit a lot of birds before they could react.
The ducks that stay in Wisconsin tend to be those that are already acclimated to human activity. We have a pond nearby where 25 -30 ducks surround a little spring. They will come up to you if they think you have some food for them. They are essentially tame animals.
The snowmobiler needs some serious punishment.

“Obviously, compassion is not a trait shared by all humans.”
That’s a tough statement to argue with. But, just out of curiosity, it’d be interesting to know your definition of compassion.

I must say that is a good point. Compassion could be different for many individuals.
I would say empathy but one could have empathy even in cruel behavior. Personally, I feel for those who can't help themselves and despise any form of cruel suffering. I just don't believe in killing indiscriminately.

“I just don’t believe in killing indiscriminately.”
Most well rounded people don’t. But that’s the problem. Our society generates some pretty oblong individuals. I like to urge people to beware of compassion driven tunnel vision. Some people focus on “the children”, others on puppies, but the social problem really encompasses all the symptoms. I wish people would focus on the greater problem with the anger and intensity that they reserve for the symptoms of their choice. All victims would be better off.

Totally agree and couldn't put it any better. Solving the greater problem would flow down and cure the individual symptoms.
Cruelty, which is a result of evil, has existed and will always exist whether it be towards people or animals. Any person of faith believes that. However, rapists, child molesters, and animal abusers deserve no quarter.
