I almost hit a turtle on a dirt road today, took steps to avoid him as he ducked into his shell.

Ok.
Cane him, make him do community service cleaning duck ponds, find a way to humiliate the little scum bag...but a felony. No.

In my area (Western Washington) there was a notorious case several years back where an officer was following a woman who swerved to hit a family of 'possums. She was arrested, and eventually she successfully defended against the charges. I believe justice was served in this instance.
But then, those were 'possums. Anybody who'd deliberately hit a family of duckies should shot with a knife.

Our outrage is so arbitrary.

while i don't condone the actions of this guy, i hardly think it warrants a felony. unless he endangered a person, killed a protected animal, destroyed someone else's property, or tortured the ducklings, this is just a waste of taxpayer time and money. perhaps he does need counseling. who knows. have him do 40 hours of community service cleaning up duck ponds, as mentioned above, no criminal record and be done with it. i bet he'd never do anything like it again.

So, if he picked up the ducklings and took them home and fixed them for dinner, would it be okay?
I suppose it's not duck season, though, so there might be a fine.

Sure, no big deal, he just ran over ducklings because he had to show the McD's employees who the big man is. It's also fine if he hangs out in your neighborhood waiting for the little girls puppy to escape so he can run it down too. Come on, it's fun.

We had some kids in our part of Phoenx who actually put bread in the road so they could run over ducks and geese. Just can't imagine what they were thinking.

Felony? Ridiculous. How about some mandatory therapy? Way more helpful to him and society in general

Smear his face w/ spring duck hen phermone then tie him supine to a rock near a pile of cracked field corn by a pond. Let him go when he resembles a feather-down bismark and post his pic on Facebook.
