Town Fines Iraq Vet over Therapy Ducks (Picture And Vids)

Thursday, July 24, 2014 14:04

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.

There’s a new petition taking off on Change.org, and we think you might be interested in signing it.

Jack L. Patterson: Allow Iraq veteran Darin Welker to keep his pet ducks, upon whom he relies for post-war mental and physical therapy.

Roxanne Balmas
Harrison Township, Michigan

Sign Roxanne’s Petition

Iraq War veteran and Ohio resident Darin Welker suffers from post-traumatic stress, depression, and back problems since returning from duty, the symptoms of which are alleviated by the mental and physical therapy he derives from caring for his fourteen pet ducks.

Unfortunately, the village in which he lives, West Lafayette, wants to take his ducks away or force him to pay a fine of up to $150, simply because ducks are not on the village’s list of approved pets.

Mr. Welker needs all of our support in petitioning the city to do the right thing and allow him to keep his therapy pets! Please sign today to let the mayor know we support Mr. Welker.

How cruel can these people be???? I cannot believe that we are
witnessing such cruelty to everything that is pro love and life.
How did this happen? We cannot have organic gardens and we cannot
have animals that do nothing but give love. Does it get worse than this?
Unfortunately yes, we have cops who love to kill pet dogs.
Soon they will just be killing everything. Or maybe that is already
happening.
