They killed off all the ducks too. Gloria and Linda now have freezers full of them…
Even Donald? Please, no, not Donald.
Yes, Donald too… Huey, Dewey and Louie, Daffy, Daisy, Darkwing, Baby Huey (special freezer), Uncle Scrooge, Ludwig, Melissa, Newton, Wade and even little Yakky!
You forgot Howard. How could you forget HOWARD?!
Griffin Pond is in the middle of a rehab: visitors are now discouraged or outright prohibited from feeding the birds in order that the birds will re-establish their migratory patterns and give the pond a change to get cleaned up. Those ugly plants and the pond scum are part of the pond’s filtration system which will eventually leave the pond clean and clear.
Sounds like bs.
