A netizen has filmed what appears to be bizarre abuse of a call duck in a Taichung park. A child placed the duck atop a slide and let it slide to the ground, repeating the move over and over, as his mother watched without intervening.

Voice of eyewitness (voice altered)
I saw the kid grab and toss the duck around like it was a ball. I thought this was outrageous – it’s an animal.

Ms Chen
Duck expert
Actually the call duck is an animal that is very sensitive to pain. That could injure its wing or its foot.

The Taichung Animal Protection and Health Inspection Office says that pet owners are obligated to keep their pets free from harm. Any abuse of ducklings resulting in injury is a violation of the Animal Protection Act, with fines of up to NT$15,000.
