A duck that gained popularity for its unique feathers and friendliness towards visitors, was tortured and killed on the River Walk Tuesday night.

Staff at the Original Mexican Restaurant on the River Walk nicknamed the duck “George” (we have found George, is actually a female) and said it had become a staple at their establishment because it hung out in the same spot for years.

Surveillance video from the restaurant shows two men strangling, jumping on and kicking George, and then throwing her back in the river. A makeshift memorial with flowers and candles, now marks the spot where the abuse happened.

“She would just go up to customers and she was really a unique looking duck,” said Larkin Buchanan, with the Original Mexican Restaurant. “People would feed her and take pictures with her. You see some of the other ducks here, and she was really a unique feature of the River Walk.”

A police report has been filed, so the search is now on for the people responsible for killing George. Because the River Walk is on federal property, federal charges of animal cruelty are a possibility. (Taken from KSAT12.com and The Huffington Post)

 

The Paseo del Rio Association is a non-profit organization founded in 1968 to promote, protect and preserve the San Antonio River Walk, the number one tourist attraction in Texas. We are raising funds for the Humane society and need your help to continue the fight against animal cruelty, exploitation and neglect.
