A court order of protection has been issued for a duck which was allegedly attacked by a Long Island man.
"Circles" the duck is arguably the most endangered and most protected duck in America.
"I'm surprised. So is she I guess," owner Janet Lippincott said with a laugh. "She's the most protected duck in the world now."
Back in March, Lippincott says a group of young people snuck into her backyard in Mastic and shot Circles in the head and neck area with a pellet gun and pierced her voice box.
"She had difficulty quacking for the first week or two," Lippincott said.
So in an effort to protect Circles from a future fusillade of fire the duck got an order of protection. "This is the first I've heard of a court ordered protected duck," said Det. Lt. Gail Marrero of the Suffolk County Police Department.
