Do you have the link to the specific statute Law you are referencing? Did you do your research first before posting that?

abandonment is illegal in most places under animal cruelty laws. doesn’t just apply to dogs and cats and you can be arrested

Don't Rant about it ........ post these links for others so they can see for themselves over just posting a personal option about the unfortunate situation. It's called Creditability in what you post.

@Azureduckchick, before you respond again in ignorance, please do some research, say more than 20 minutes worth. . If you can't respond intelligently to a situation, I suggest you keep your comments to yourself. This forum is for the betterment of all, not for the spread of misinformation and personal prejudice.

It sounds like you did exactly what you're accusing Azureduckchick of doing: acting/speaking in ignorance (or I would say arrogance) with little to no research, or in your case, regard for the creatures you are responsible for. You expect these ducks to understand that they suddenly need to provide their own shelter and food? And not long before winter no less?
Did you even try to address the offending behavior before dumping them?

You came on here for advice. This is generally a forum for people who love, or at least respect their birds. Not everyone is an expert (I certainly am not), but you cannot be surprised that abandoning your animals is not a popular choice. It serves no purpose to become defensive and rude just because you don't like what people have to say.

(a) Offense defined.–A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly or recklessly illtreats, overloads, beats, abandons or abuses an animal.

Now you have case law statues over saying it's a law for those who would like to research it more.
