Disturbing Outrage (for Animal Lovers)

I've been pretty sporadic in posting these days, and I hope everyone is doing well, but had to share this tragic, horrible story.

My husband read something the other day that said the ducks had been taken from Belmont Lake State Park and brought to their destruction. I couldn't believe it, and thought maybe I was just dreaming, since he told me as I was half asleep. But, after driving past the park and seeing no ducks, swans or geese, I began thinking otherwise, so I asked him about it last night. He confirmed that he really did tell me. And as I went past today, again I saw not one duck, not one swan, not even one goose.

How sick is this? The ducks, swans and geese can't even enjoy a park? Where are they supposed to go if they can't stop at our parks? Why couldn't they maybe just thin the population instead of taking them all away? And to be brought to their destruction instead of being taken to a preserve, that's just got me feeling devestated. From what my husband remembered about the story he read, it wasn't just Belmont Lake State Park that did this. He looked for the story, but I guess he must have thrown it away.

Does anyone know about this?? How could they be allowed to do this?

We had wedding pictures taken at Belmont Lake State Park, and I know many people who use the parks for pictures, or picnicing, or whatever, have concerns for the droppings left behind from our feathered friends, but seriously, was it really necessary for whoever did this to bring these animals to their deaths?
