If you had seen this story being belittled on the NBC evening news with Campbell Brown Saturday evening, you might admire the humane stance taken in the Guardian leader. The two fool television anchors and the idiotic weatherman sickened me as they giggled and laughed their way through their report. They showed callous disregard for that living creature locked inside a freezer--not a nice place to be for any animal or human. It is entirely possible that the Leader writer was as concerned with the fate of the duck as taking one more crack at Philip Windsor. What planet are those royals living on? One so far away they seem cut off from reality. The Queen throttles injured game birds to "get them out of their misery," and Philip allows servants to stomp on a dead fox. Is there any hope for the next generation of royals? Three cheers for the duck, the hunter's wife who took it to the vet, the wild life volunteers who will give it a good life, and the historians who will record the story for posterity.
