East Side: Cruelty to Animals

It has come to our attention that someone on the East side of the community has been killing muscovy ducks either by poisoning them or by some other violent means.  Within the last week and a half, we have been alerted to 7 dead ducks in the community which the Association has gone out to remove.  We want to remind everyone that killing or injuring of any animal in this fashion, no matter the reason, is cruel and also illegal.  We realize that some folks my find muscovy ducks irritating as well as a nuisance, but they are only here because someone is feeding them.

We ask our members to please let us know if they see or know of anyone feeding the ducks within the community, witness anyone being cruel or molesting them in any way or anyone driving in a manner meant to kill or injure them.  Should we continue to find any more dead or injured ducks in the community we will contact Miami Dade County Animal Services to report the incidents.
