Next to my household, there is a bunch of woods, where a lot of wildlife lives. There is this pond where fish and ducks are common sites, and everything drinks from the pond. There are teenage kids that party over there and get drunk, and recently been shooting the ducks (which i believe in hunting, but only in season). They throw trash in the pond (beer cans, etc). But in the past few days kids have dumped a lot of gas in the pond causing most of the fish to die, a duck, and a couple turkeys have died because of it. Is there anything i can do to stop it? Can anyone clean it up? Would it be ok if id take the duck that they clipped its wings and take it to a different pond? PLEASE HELP!
I'm eager to hear your comments...Posts Tagged ‘About’
