Remember the duck who was alive in the fridge for two days? He's back again

[Bufflehead]

Remember this duck story about a week ago. The one where the duck was still alive in the duck hunters fridge after two days, when his wife found it alive and rushed it to a animal care center

well, it's back in the headlines

Refrigerator duck plays Lazarus again
Bird that lived 2 days in fridge after being shot flat-lines in surgery, revives

Updated: 3:36 a.m. CT Jan 29, 2007
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Call her Lazarus — and then some.

The ring-neck duck has been shot by a hunter, rescued from two days in a refrigerator by his wife and — in its latest brush with death — resuscitated on a veterinarian's operating table.

The one-pound female duck stopped breathing Saturday during an operation to repair gunshot damage to her wing, said Noni Beck of Goose Creek Wildlife Sanctuary. Veterinarian David Hale performed CPR and managed to get the fractured fowl breathing again after several tense moments.


"I started crying, 'She's alive!'" Beck said.

Perky grabbed national attention last week after a hunter's wife opened her refrigerator door and the supposedly dead duck lifted its head and looked at her. The duck had been in the fridge for two days since it was shot and mistaken for dead on Jan. 15.

There's kids in this country that can't get medical care and they are spending this much time, effort and money on a duck that should have been stuffed, baked and eaten by now.

What the heck is this world comming to!!!

I read that story today too..very weird. I am not sure what to think. I suppose it is nice the duck made it but wow I think I would have just put it out of its misery.

It's a freaking duck, ring it's neck and call it a day!!  It's getting treated better than a human being.  No wonder we can't come up with an affordable health care plan!!

I read both stories as well. The part I dont understand is why was in in the fridge for two days and not cleaned? I always cleaned my game when I am done hunting.

Some people..NOT ME!

 Age their fowl...guts, feathers and all

 Infact, years ago, some hunters would nail the head of the bird to the wall of a building and when the birds body and head separated and the body fell to the ground. The fowl was ready to be cleaned and cooker

 MMmmmmm NOT!!

That does not sound very appetizing to me. I like mine freshly cleaned.

Yea I've heard that was standard practice b4 people had access to seasonings. Guess it gave it that good gamey taste.
