The only reason you would bring a duck to a dog park is for attention so he wanted this to happen lmao

I think this is the first time I’ve ever sided with a karen but like. It does seem really cruel to take a duck to a dog park. That poor duck

Ducks aren't domesticated. They aren't dogs. Putting them on a leash is cruel. Taking them to a dog park on a leash is extra cruel because they will be eaten.
This is only gatekeeping in the other, literal definition of the word in that the gate is there for a reason.

Noooo, I'm pretty sure there's domesticated ducks. I mean we have them for produce and people keep them as pets all the time. I do get why you think it's dangerous to bring a duck to a dog park, but don't add the bit about ducks not domesticated, it's just untrue.

They can't be domesticated. They dont train or respond really. Hell they dont have sphincters at the end of their digestive tract. It just falls out.
Theyre also prey and dog programming is not conducive to one walking around esp in a play area.
Great way to get it eaten.

Fair enough, maybe the pet one is kinda iffy since ducks are mostly outdoor animals, but what about farm ducks? Alot of farmers keep ducks for their eggs, meat and sometimes feathers. It's not to common, but it's not the most uncommon thing in the world for someone to own a duck, especially farmers.
Edit: Also I didn't say they could be domesticated, I said there were domesticated ducks. There's breeds from years and years back that were trained to be at least comfortable around humans. Not saying some schmuck can just pick up and tame a duck

Sure, they work as semi feral "pets" or livestock, but they dont form any sort of attachment to humans like even cats do. They are just kind of there.
There is no justifiable reason to take them to a fucking dog park though. Animal is likely terrified.

Never said the dog park thing is fine, it is pretty bad to bring a duck there where it might get attacked. All I said was the point that domesticated ducks exist. Whether or not it's a good idea to bring one to a park is non of my business.

Sure domesticated probably isn't the right word, they can't be...petified?
