I saw some kids with a paintball gun that had been shooting at some ducks late yesterday, I know the ducks can be a bother to some but aren't they generally considered off limits to such cruel behavior?

Yes, the ducks are off limits to ANY cruel behavior.

My question to you is, did you stop the kids you saw with a paintball gun that had been shooting at some ducks? I hope you stopped them, otherwise you are part of the problem. Did you get their names?

If you did stop them, great, and keep a vigil out for those kids. Since the parents don't care and will not do anything about it, unfortunately, we have to protect our neighborhood.

Yup, but now I think they were mostly shooting at each other, still, I called SAPD.
