Ah. Yeah, I can understand that better. Hard to feel it, myself -- throwing things at local wildlife was something only arguably superseded by just plain shooting the things, where I grew up, and in the case of certain subsets (the aggressive poisonous snakes, ferex, may all cottonmouths drown in a ditch) of 'em were honestly desirable from the human perspective -- but I can definitely understand it, especially from a city-dweller's perspective where the critters are more akin to nice lawn ornaments than violently annoying and/or destructive and/or deadly pests. Mind, I'm also a lot more live and let live in regards to animals than I was when I was younger, but there's still plenty of antipathy left over for a lot of 'em.

I'm cool with turtles, though. They would get brick return fire in their defense. Not the ducks, though. Ducks are gigantic jackwads. Pretty sure swan are, too. Most waterfowl, really. Often pretty, but kinda' terrible to have around, except for the cooking and eating. Not quite in my chicken category* of animal morality, but not far from it.

*Anything goes, screw the bastards first. This is reserved for exceptionally amoral monsters that will happily eat people. Particularly impressive since most animals have no concept of morality. Chickens are just that much of a set of bastards. Were they not so delicious, I would spend the remainder of my life driving them to extinction. I don't hate chickens, I just recognize that their continued existence is a threat to my own and treat them appropriately given that diplomacy is impossible and they know only hunger and hate.

Nononono! Ducks and Geese are EVIL. Swans are the redeemed ducks! Geese, though...They're like, LEVEL TWO DUCKS!

But they believe in fair warfare, as do I. So throwing bricks and shit at them? That's still a criminal offense. Stahp.

Did ducks throw bricks at you when you were a child?

Not bricks, per se, but smaller pieces of masonry... yes, if my memory's not failing me. Once. Beaky little neck twisting jerks. It's only fair to adjust the size differential of projectile to match the differential in projecter, I'd say.

Mind you, I've never actually tossed something non-organic at ducks and don't really intend to, but if that's the measure of justification m'covered.

KingofstarrySkies, were you cornered at night in an alleyway by a marauding band of pebble-wielding ducks?If so, it's nothing to be afraid of. We've all been there, man. Even the best of us.

No. I refuse to say why, and it has NOTHING to do with a nazi-ish hatred of them involving being raised to hate the fuckers combined with getting mauled by one once.

Nothing.

At.

All.

Does that remind anyone else of Sheldon Cooper being treed by a chicken? :P

Swans are even more evil than ducks and geese. Not only are they stupid and aggressive, they're territorial. They're level 3 ducks, and it's not even their final form.

So much OOC here.

Anyway, I was kind of an Elmyra figure when I was a kid.  Never wanted to hurt anything living, and always had the most innocent intentions towards animals... but I also wanted to capture and study everything.  I would caught frogs and snakes and every kind of insect all the time and starve them to death in my jars.  The cruelest thing I remember is I used to be able to sneak up on bees and catch them by their wings (never once got stung this way).  I'd then feed them to my frogs.  Quite frequently, because they were some of the easiest things for me to catch.  Didn't occur to me at the time how cruel that was.  And the animals apparently had no idea.  I had that aura of innocence.  I could seriously coax many wild animals to willingly jump into the palm of my hand with ease.  I feel sorry for earning their trust now :P

But I knew a lot of kids growing up in Indiana that would just sadistically torture and kill whatever creatures they could get their hands on.  Not just little kids, either.  It was disturbingly prevalent.  I heard casual talk about stuff like setting cats on fire more than once, and witnessed random animal torture while hiding a couple times.

Having had to grab a wounded swan, I can attest to this. They can, and will crack or break your ribs, arms, and anything else within wing reach. Bastards are tough.

SO IS YOUR HARLOT OF A MO-

What do you mean I can't say that? Oh, whatever.

While I disagree with your opinion, I am positive that your mother is a fine, respectable woman who is most certainly not a harlot.
