Shot duck survives 2 days in Fla. fridgeSat Jan 20, 5:07 PM ET TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Neither gunfire nor two days in a refrigerator could slay this duck. When the wife of the hunter who shot it opened the refrigerator door, the duck lifted its head, giving her a scare. The man's wife "was going to check on the refrigerator because it hadn't been working right and when she opened the door, it looked up at her," said Laina Whipple, a receptionist at Killearn Animal Hospital. "She freaked out and told the daughter to take it to the hospital right then and there." The 1-pound female ring-neck ended up at Goose Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, where it has been treated since Tuesday for wounds to its wing and leg. Sanctuary veterinarian David Hale said it has about a 75 percent chance of survival, but probably won't ever be well enough to be released back into the wild. He said the duck, which has a low metabolism, could have survived in a big enough refrigerator, especially if the door was opened and closed several times. And he said he understands how the hunter thought the duck was dead. "This duck is very passive," Hale said. "It's not like trying to pick up a Muscovy at Lake Ella, where you put your life in your hands."

You'd think bloodloss alone would take it out...that part is more impressive than the refrigerator part.

All life begins with Nu and ends with Nu. This is the truth! This is my belief! At least for now...

I think ground beef in my fridge looked at me today. It also talks sometimes, tells me to kill you all in your sleep.

No kidding. First thing you do after you get to a downed bird is wring its neck. If that makes you queasy, you probably shouldn't be hunting in the first place. |

I was actually kinda surprised the wife sent the duck off to an animal hospital instead of finishing it off. Or having the husband do it. I mean, you don't set a convict free just because he got lucky and survived the chair, right?

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe
