Man found guilty of luring duck from pond and killing it in front of people

Robert Muir. A man lured a duck to him with bread before wringing its neck and slinging it in the bin in front of horrified onlookers, a court was told. See NATIONAL story NNDUCK. Robert Muir, 49, killed the duck last May in a "callous act of cruelty" in a beauty spot in Richmond, south west London. Wimbledon Magistrates heard that police were called to the area by members of the public who had witnessed the horrifying act. CCTV footage showed Muir enticing the Mallard duck over to him twice before grabbing it and breaking its neck. He then twisted its neck again before dumping it in a bin.
