Third duck with beak removed is found in California park; animal activists fear it's intentional

LOS ANGELES — A third duck whose beak was removed was found at Mile Square Regional Park in Fountain Valley, and animal advocates said they're concerned the animals are being targeted and harmed by someone.

"Our suspicion is with so many injured in the same way, that it seems intentional," said Debbie McGuire, executive director at the Wetlands and Wildlife Care Center in Huntington Beach.

Two other ducks had been previously found and cared for by the center since July. Both ducks were found starving, unable to eat because of their injuries and had to be euthanized.
