You may have seen the advert . . . hospitalized with injuries that mysteriously are never explained. Multiple lacerations to the wing? Fractured beak? Just what is going here?
Were these injuries the result of some over-zealous, but
incompetent PETA representative attempting to enforce a belief that death is
preferable to exploitation? And, if so, did they ask the duck if it chose to
represent this company or was it forced?
Was the duck a victim of someone, say a farmer, who believes that animals should know their place, and television stardom is not their place?
Perhaps the injuries are the result of an escape from a care
and protective services “shelter” that had deemed the duck unadoptable? After all the duck has in previous
appearances shown itself to be rather strong-headed, independent, and even
aggressive in getting its point across!
Could the injuries be self-inflicted; a result of the stress
inflicted by being a public personality?
After all, everyone has read of stardom leading to what seem to be psychotic
breaks or self-destructive behavior! Was the constant pressure to perform the
breaking point or, possibly, did the realization that he was a phenomenon, a
special individual, living a life of luxury while his fellow non-humans were
being slaughtered for the crime of being homeless just too much to stand!
Undoubtedly, we will learn the truth in the near
future. But will this revelation be just
another stunt by an enthusiastic but uncaring PR advisor? Let’s hope we get to
hear the real story from the true victim . . . the duck!
