Animal control officers are working to get DNA off the arrow in an attempt to prosecute the person responsible.
“We can see the wall of the trachea up here and the arrow is right next to it, so it narrowly missed actually going through the trachea, which we were very relieved to find out,” says veterinarian Dr. Elizabeth Wood.Animal control officers are working to get DNA off the arrow in an attempt to prosecute the person who nearly killed the duck.
Staffers at the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach gently removed it after the mallard was sedated. “He’s very lucky that the dart is out and his pain level seemed to decrease significantly as soon as the dart was out. His breathing went back to normal and he actually started self feeding quite quickly, so animals are so remarkable and so resilient,” Wood said.
