FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Fort Lauderdale police asked for the public’s help Wednesday in identifying a boy who they said was caught on camera stomping a duck to death over the weekend.
Police said home surveillance camera video from Sunday shows a boy at a home near the 300 block of Southwest Eighth Avenue chasing a duck to the side of a house, pinning the animal with his hands, and then stomping it until it died before fleeing the scene.
They said the agency’s animal cruelty unit is still working to identify the attacker.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the Fort Lauderdale Police Department or Officer Lowe of the animal crimes unit at 954-579-4944 or by emailing alowe@flpd.gov.
A reward of up to $5,000 is being offered for information leading to an arrest. Tips can be submitted anonymously through Broward Crime Stoppers at 954-493-8477, online at browardcrimestoppers.org, or by dialing TIPS from any cellphone in the United States.
