I'm so so sad for those ducklings. What is the point of wildlife trusts when they don't take any action against people who do this? It sounds as if it's been going on for many years but that doesn't make it right. They are bending over backwards not to alienate locals and in doing so are neglecting their duty towards wildlife. Yes I do class them as wildlife, not domesticated as the powers that be keep calling them. These islanders are obviously very insular, not a good thing to be!
