The story about George is not just a story about one Duck. It's the story about the decay of humanity. A story about the apathy and slow creeping fungus called cruelty to helpless individuals, from animals, to children to the elderly the most vulnerable individuals of our society. We can't accept this decay of humanity. If we want to protect humanity, we must protect the most vulnerable. Because when we become so desensitized that we just chalk this off as a prank, we are lowering the bar and eventually there will be no bar left.

George was a friendly well loved Duck in the River Walk district of San Antonio Texas. George was a she. She loved everyone. She nipped on people legs to ask for food. People fed her Tortilla chips. She spent her days by the river walk and slept at a spot on the walk. Until the night of May 29the, when two men crept up on the sleeping George, stomped her, strangled her and just for fun murdered her. Then they calmly walked by the Restaurant where they appeared briefly on the camera, holding George by her neck and further down they threw her in the river.

You may say �But it�s just a duck, why the fuzz!� The fuzz is that this is symbolic of something deeper that is happening in our society. A steady decline in compassion. A steady increase of dismissal of animal cruelty and slow to no progress in prosecuting acts like this. This being felt the horror the pain and she suffered. She trusted people and that is what she got in return.

It�s no secret that people that do this have probably done this before, to other animals, or to other children, or adults, they are probably bullies. They usually progress into acts against their own species. They may, if not found one day work as a little league coach, in a hospital as a nurse, become a police officer, or live next to you as a �nice� neighbor that everyone will be so shocked about when they learn he is a serial killer or child molester.

The original painting sold at auction all proceeds after taxes went toward an award fund to find the perpetrators of this heinous crime.
