Description

DUCK ATTACKS.

This duck lives at this lake and has been frequently seen at where the pin in the map is.

But it also will walk up to Fairwood Ave at times.

Neighbors were comparing notes last night and there has been 3 attacks, that we know of, in the past week or two.

No babies involved. The attacks were at opposite ends of the lake.

All events ended with the duck biting on legs and then following the victims as they try to go in their homes for safety.

This duck has a bite that is similar to a crab claw.
It will not let go of your leg even after you are kicking it.

Neighbors have tried to fight it off with brooms, kicks, whipping it with leashes.

It has been known to run up behind you and attack.

Would Pinellas like to get rid of this duck or should the neighbors do it the old fashion way?
