ST. PAUL, Minn. - A man was in custody Sunday after police said he ripped the head off a tame duck that lived in a hotel lobby's ornamental pond.

Scott D. Clark, a guest at the Embassy Suites Hotel in St. Paul, cornered the duck early Saturday morning, grabbed the bird and ripped its head from its body while a hotel security guard and others watched, police said.

Clark then turned to onlookers and said: "I'm hungry. I'm gonna eat it," St. Paul police Sgt. John Wuorinen said.

If convicted, he could face up to two years in prison and a $5,000 fine, said Tim Shields, general counsel with the Minnesota Federated Humane Societies. Shields said the incident was "unconscionable," and that having live ducks in a hotel lobby puts them at risk of being stepped on or run over by suitcases.


Fact: Suitcases kill over one ducks every year! we MUST end this cycle of abuse and violence. Ban luggage! For God's sake! THINK OF THE DUCKS!


"I think Embassy Suites needs to take another look at this and review how they keep ducks safe, or use fish like most hotels would use," Shields said.


Great idea! Instead of that dangerous suitcase, I'll just bring a fishing pole next time I travel. FISH STICKS!


Calls to the Embassy Suites were referred to either the assistant general manager or the general manager, and neither of them were available Sunday.


Sounds like someone was DUCKING their responsibilities.

Oh Don't groan at me! If I hadn't said it, someone else would have!
