Live ducks illegally released at Can Picafort festival

CAN PICAFORT
MASKED infiltrators successfully ruffled the feathers of the law yesterday by throwing live ducks into the water at the annual duck-catching competition at Can Picafort, a practice now deemed illegal.

In the space of less than a minute, traditionalists had daringly swooped into the bay on jet ski machines with no registration markings and at a safe distance from the massed group of swimmers waiting to retrieve the now health-and-safety approved replacement plastic ducks.

The invaders then swam with the live birds to where the official release was about to take place. In seconds, a flock of ten ducks was swimming of its own accord amongst the bathers and the masked men took advantage of the confusion to make their escape.
