People Are Sick

From the Mercury News:

The chilling crime was captured on grainy security-camera tape: a man in a small car in the wee hours of the morning deliberately running over and killing 10 ducks who lived in a pond at a popular carwash in Campbell.

Employees, patrons and neighbors of the business- who treated the fowl almost like family- called the crime unspeakably cruel, and were mourning the loss this week. And while the tapes aren't sharp-police can't even read the car's license plate- investigators hope that images released Thursday will help them catch the man they want to charge withanimal cruelty.

Shortly after midnight last Friday, four security cameras at the Delta Queen Classic Car Wash, 981 E. Hamilton Ave., captured images of a driver running over ducks five or six times in a 16-minute rampage. The driver also got out of his car several times to chase the birds- some of them ducklings- and appeared to grab one or two by the neck and throw them against or into his car.
