Amen to that. A couple of years ago I was in a TSC on a Sunday morning and naturally I was looking at the babies. The tubs weren't dirty but the babies were all huddled together with a lot of dead chicks and ducklings in the 'puddle'. It broke my heart seeing the ones that were alive and healthy cuddled up to their dead mates for comfort. I went up front and told the guys that were lounging around what was going on and they needed to take care of the babies. Their response was the same "oh, we know, I'll get back there later and take care of them."
It was a couple of years before set foot in a TSC. I told my husband that he was lucky that I didn't make them an offer on the remaining babies and bring them all home. He said he was surprised that I didn't and that I had shown remarkable restraint, both with not buying them and by not unleashing a red headed tornado on the men.
It's a good thing i did no see that. If afraid I would have protested very loudly after getting that response. Would have been thrown out most likely. Those babies deserve better.
one of my original ducks that I have had for over a year. This is by far the hardest part of owning and loving these animals, the unexpected happens so fast and the heartbreak lingers forever. Another beautiful duck flying high with the others 
I've had a lot of loss recently, too - just lost two chicks today. It's very hard. But I'll always have God. <3
