He could have been leading them into an all you can eat China buffet for all you know. I'm sure there is an alterier motive.
I was looking at some a while ago.. they were on a hill that leaded to water.. the ducklings were very very young.. and one lost it's balance and tumbled all the way down to the water.. hehe.. it was flipflopping downhill with it's wings.. teehee.. once it hit the water it was trying to act all cool.. hehe.. washed itself and climbed back up.. so cute.
I used to have a bowling team (don't laugh - it's fun) that's motto when we needed to get serious was "Stomp baby chicks!". Because there's nothing quite so hard-hearted, huh? We got the motto from a documentary showing what happens to the black baby chicks at a baby chick factory. You don't want to know.
where'dd you foind that? did you make that haha yourself? cuz i dont ever remember seein this. and teh ducks would get killed in the wild. if the mommy is stupid enough to lead her chicks across a highway, then she'll do it again, and maybe not be so lucky.
