Two teens beat duck to death with baseball bat
Two former Alabama college athletes clobbered a duck to death with a bat to “put it out of its misery,” according to a disturbing new report.
Jacob Thomas Frye and Thomas “Landon” Grant, both 19-year-old former baseball players at Central Alabama Community College in Alexander City, had attended a party on the evening of May 5, then went to an on-campus pond, where they grabbed one of the ducks, Detective Robert Oliver of the Alexander City police told AL.com.
They bludgeoned the bird with the baseball bat, then took it back to a nearby apartment, where they put it in a bag, Oliver said.
One of the students then decided to beat the duck even more to “put it out of its misery,” he added.
The two ex-Trojans allegedly tossed the duck — still in the bag — into a wooded area.
A coach heard what was going on and found the animal gravely injured, but somehow still alive, Oliver told the outlet.
The wounded fowl was taken to a veterinarian, but it could not be saved and had to be euthanized.
