A Kendall woman said her neighbor killed her pet duck because he felt threatened by the animal.
Melina Ocampo, who lives in the Heron of the Hammocks community, said her pet duck, Ma Pato, often roamed around a nearby lake, eventually returning home.
Another neighbor, Madelaine Jorge, noticed a man and woman near the duck on Sept. 2 and recorded what she saw with her cellphone. In the video, the man slams the duck to the ground, killing the animal.
Ocampo said she had owned Ma Pato for about four years and never had any problems before.
She allegedly contacted police, who told her the neighbors who encountered the duck in front of their apartment said it was attacking them.
Attempts to reach the neighbors for comment were unsuccessful.
