"I've seen this happen quite a few times because we used to live near a pond. On the one hand I think what the driver did was awful. On the other whoever posted it on social media knew they'd be putting him in danger, so to my mind they're just as bad" I think the police need to clamp down on people that post stuff like that on social media . That includes all the people that think it’s ok to film road accidents and post it on social media before the police even have a chance to notify the families it’s just disgusting. | |||

"What should happen to the white van driver ? " Considering that it’s an offence to deliberately kill or injure a wild bird, I would say that he at the very least should be prosecuted..

"Isn't it in the highway code or something that you shouldn't alter your course for wildlife in the road? Halting traffic on a roundabout seems pretty drastic but I understand why they did it.

Yes, you're right I think" Karma is not a matter of belief. As noice as it is to think that somehow the universe balances out good and bad. The fact is that it is more a matter of mathematics. The more “bad thing” that someone does the the greater the probability that eventually there’s a reaction that looks like justice or karma. The bully their match, or the burglar picks on the wrong OAP. Any hope of a villain meeting Karma is simply a wish that the statistics play out sooner rather than later. | |||

" I don’t believe in karma full stop. " I don't believe in the popular definition of it as a universal justice system that only metes out punishment to the people we think deserve it. I do think that our intentions have an effect on our 'self' and doing bad stuff or wishing ill on people is going to affect a person in a negative way. | |||

A member of the public was outraged and followed the van to a layby and confronted him. Allegedly the van driver said that he did not care a fuck. Someone has posted a picture of the dead ducklings and the number plate of the van on social media. The Chief of Police has warned against vigilantes getting involved. This is all over the news. What would fabbers have done.. I would have followed him and battered him " Are you Judge Dredd or just want us to think you’re hard? What about if someone saw you as a younger man attacking a much older man (he’s apparently in 60s). They may not know the context and just lamp you. Where does the cycle of violence end and the police and justice system allowed to do the work? | |||

"Isn't it in the highway code or something that you shouldn't alter your course for wildlife in the road? Halting traffic on a roundabout seems pretty drastic but I understand why they did it. The van driver was a bit if a cunt but I get him showing bravado when confronted about it. This has a don't fuck with cats vibe about it, especially people posting his license plate etc. There will be people trying to dox him and make him lose his job. I think you’re right about the Highway Code, but there’s a difference with not swerving across lanes to avoid them and being stationary and then setting off to run them over. " This 1000%
We live in the sticks in the middle of butt fuck nowhere.
I work all over the SW and have had to swerve across the road to avoid hitting everything from loose dogs and cats, to swans, ducks, geese, pheasants, rabbits deer and even on a couple of occasions cows, sheep and horses.
If I can do so safely I will. I don't like killing any wildlife if avoidable.
But at times there's been oncoming traffic or I've been on a single track road with nowhere to go but into a hedge or ditch. So I've hit and killed something.
But never in a million years would I ignore an animal in the road and just drive on if the option of stopping safely or going round it was there.
To do so makes you a grade A cunt.
Whilst I don't agree with vigilantism at all, given when approached the driver in question stated he knew what he'd done and didn't give a shit makes me think he deserves what he gets from it being shared on social media.
All he had to do was show some remorse and he'd be viewed differently. So I have zero sympathy with him, the same as anyone else who show's none or considers an apology worthwhile until pressured into it through being named and shamed.
If you don't want people to think you're a cunt then don't be one. And if you're caught it's best to apologise and recognise that you've been one rather than try and play the victim.

"So, the court of popular opinion has declared this fella deserving of his employment being terminated. He's potentially going to then find it difficult to get a new job ("why did you leave your previous job" is still a question, I assume...), which will leave him claiming benefits.... ...thereby drawing the ire of the Facebook hordes for being a "lazy feckless scrounger" or some such. He's done a bad thing, and there needs to be consequences for bad things, but if we set our baseline as some have suggested, there's less headroom for the most serious crimes. So maybe some sort of community punishment that humiliates, but still leaves him employed (and paying taxes)? Wearing a duck outfit for 3 months, to work, to the shops, etc, for example." I've always wondered why those doing community service didn't have to wear those dayglo orange jumpsuits (the type worn in 'Misfits'). If your penalty for committing an offence is to pay that wrong back by doing good then you should be easily identifiable to those you are paying penance to. I get your point re employment. But what business in their right mind would want to employ the kind of sick fuck that does this? Behaviour has consequences. And if that includes losing a job (the same way it often does for other crimes/offences/adverse public behaviour) then tough titties I'm afraid. I don't think him getting the sack for this is a particularly high baseline. I'd be surprised and disappointed if he didn't. A | |||

He could be sentenced to a few months on a bird farm, rearinga duckling from hatching to table. Naming a special one after his nanna and then chopping its head off, plucking it and making duck a l'orange for the farmer. If you're going to kill something at least eat it afterwards. | |||

Unless the laws of England & Wales stipulate the killing is a crime or the manner of killing if allowed then the choice is probably down to your own judgement and conscious. | |||

So I can choose what living thing it's ok for me to kill?" It all comes down to the motivation and reason for doing so. If it's a pest, parasite or something causing harm to health I don't think there's much of a debate. To eat or to prevent damage to the food chain? No real issue as long as it's done humanely. (unless you're a veggie/vegan of course) Because it's unavoidable - for example a bird flying into your car or a rabbit running out under your tyres. To prevent suffering. Euthanasia - of a pet due to ill health, breaking a seriously injured birds neck to put it out of it's misery, shooting a sheep that's been attacked by a dog. If you're doing it just for 'sport' to stick it's head on your wall or pose for a photo, or out of malice, for sick personal amusement....or because it's just causing you a minor inconvenience just by existing (as in the duck scenario)? Then killing an animal for any of those just makes you a cunt. A | |||

"Oh and whilst this deliberate act is abhorrent and tear inducing. Please be mindful that ‘our’ very existence - as humans and more specifically affluent western consumers probably kills far more species and little creatures every single day through air pollution, plastic pollution, deforestation etc. Not preachings we all make our own choices until the choice is made forums or removed as an option. But probably worth thinking about before we worry about flys, head lice and greenfly. " Yep. | |||

Same as being convicted of certain offences. People have been sacked for getting d*unk at events and fighting. People have lost jobs for shagging work colleagues on premises during work hours. Many swingers would potentially run the risk of losing their jobs if their employers knew about their activities. Gross misconduct can cover a broad spectrum of behaviour. But if in a branded company vehicle it doesn't actually matter if you were working or had clocked off for the day. You're still seen as being a representative of the business and behaviour can impact your job. The same as if you act like a twat whilst wearing a corporate uniform. A | |||

Also the news report says he attended the police station voluntarily following the incident so not sure where the ‘cares not a fuck comment’ came from and what evidence there is of it.

"Reports that at a roundabout traffic halted to let a duck and her ducklings across the road. A white van man stopped for a while but lost patience and drove over the ducks killing several ducklings. A member of the public was outraged and followed the van to a layby and confronted him. Allegedly the van driver said that he did not care a fuck. Someone has posted a picture of the dead ducklings and the number plate of the van on social media. The Chief of Police has warned against vigilantes getting involved. This is all over the news. What would fabbers have done.. " That's horrific if I'd seen him do that I don't think I would be responsible for my actions. What a horrible cunt,brick top would know how to deal with him! | |||

However his “i don’t give a fuck” rant whilst uncorroborated at this time, does hint at recklessness if not malice aforethought. But as this is not a court of law it is just speculation with a bit of banter and a few sick jokes. A decent, rational and calm person may have been more inclined to show surprise and even some remorse at the event even if it was entirely an accident. Time will tell. | |||

"I'm interested, purely as a discussion point at what point it becomes ok to deliberately kill a living thing because it's inconveniencing us. Rats, fleas, slugs, head lice, the black fly on my runner beans, is that ok? There's a tangible difference between those you've highlighted and ducklings though. Some are parasites and hazards to health. Some transmit disease. Pests that destroy crops potentially impact the food chain. Those aren't really inconveniences. There are many valid reasons to kill animals. Being held up in traffic for a few minutes isn't one though. A" | |||

He’s a piece of shit and I hope so much that people don’t listen to the police advice and he gets what he deserves. There’s a special place in hell for anyone who could do something so disgusting! Blimey what does he deserve?
