Missing ducks

Sophie from Tawa

Hi neighbours,

We've noticed that ducks have been missing from the neighborhood.
There were two resting on the public lawn last night, and one went missing this morning. On the other occasion, there were ducks feather everywhere, and the two regular visiting ducks never shown up again.
We used to enjoy seeing the ducks, and sometimes they bring little ducklings. But now we're really concerned that they'd be killed.
Is it illegal to kill wild ducks? Can I report this to any authorities?
