Fishing Line Entraps Mallard After Fishing Rodeo

On Thursday the 19th of July, a Mallard was entangled in fishing line after a fishing tournament.  The fishing line trapped the mallard causing her to get tangled and hung up.  While she was entrapped she was viciously attacked by the other mallards. She was unable to get away or defend herself from the brutal attack. She has sustained a number of injuries that she may not recover from. The pond has a dense population of water fowl from mallards, to wood ducks, to Canadian geese. To keep our local water wildlife safe, we have to be aware of the dangers that fishing line and hooks impose on them. NEVER cut fishing line loose to float on or sink in lakes, rivers, or ponds. These are the consequences of our actions. Protect our wildlife.
