Passers-by in Dubendorf in canton Zurich were shocked when a man armed with a rifle shot a duck on a pond during the middle of the day.
Yesterday afternoon the man calmly walked along the pedestrian street Fischerweg, took out a rifle, loaded it and shot the duck.
Witnesses say people ran away and children were scared.
But the man is a gamekeeper and he’d been asked to help a duck in distress.
Louis Wirtz, the rifleman, says he was called as the duck had a plastic ring around its neck and was starving to death.
The police confirmed they were fully aware of the operation.
