Duck to the Rescue!

By Corey • February 16, 2012 • 4 comments

Please make sure that when you discard the plastic that binds six-packs of beverages together that you cut the loops open, otherwise you force ducks to rescue each other. And there are only so many hero ducks.

Hat-tip to Mike McDowell.

Lucky duck. Reminds me of Lovelace the penguin in Happy Feet.

We don’t have those plastic 6 rings here any more. We have seen goannas and other lizards with their heads stuck in them in the past. Drinks now come in a cardboard wrap. It would at least disintegrate back into the environment when it gets dumped.
