I need advice/opinions on this situation. I live in a small apartment complex that is mostly made up of retired persons, teachers and small families. Across the street from the apartment complex, are several blocks/streets of townhomes. Although we are not together, we both share the same name.
My building directly faces the small road in between the apartments and the main road to access the streets where the townhomes are.
There is a large pond with a fountain out in front of the apartment complex which many ducks, at least 15, live in.
The only female duck in the whole bunch, had two young male sons and they were always together. The poor female was constantly ganged up on by the other males and her little sons would always defend her and beat up the other ducks. LOL it was cute. They mostly hung around the building I live in so I would always feed them and look out for them. A lot of people loved the ducks, especially the female since she was the last female in the entire bunch.
Last night, some bitch, driving at least 65 mph down the small road in front of my building, ran over the female duck and killed her. Two teenage girls that were out walking saw the woman flying down the street and rolled over top of the duck and didn't even stop. All they knew was a woman driving a silver car. The girls told a lady that lived in the building next to me, everyone called her "Duck lady" because she always took care of the ducks. These ducks were like actual animals to her so she freaked out and started telling everyone. It really hurts and pisses me off that some stupid jackass thinks they can barrel down the street like a bat out of hell and run over an innocent mallard duck. There is no speed limit, but there is a duck crossing sign. There used to be a 15mph speed limit on that street but they took the sign down a couple of years ago, or so I heard. NOBODY drives that fast on the street, most people are mindful of the unseen speed limit and I always see people yielding to the ducks, or other animals. What if it had been someone's dog or cat or even a child?
It really infuriates me that someone could do something, without even thinking or giving a shit less. I feel compelled to complain to the management and get them to put up a speed limit sign. I know if it had been any of my animals and someone did that, I would seriously be in jail right now. A bunch of people over here are outraged and we all want to get a petition started. Would you be compelled to do something in this situation? It's not just about the duck, but the fact that people need to slow the fuck down. This is a place where people roam the streets with their pets and that kids play in.
