Justice for George! Killers of San Antiono River Walk duck still on the loose

[TexasTowelie]

The hunt is on in San Antonio for two men seen on security video killing George, the city’s beloved red masked duck.

The two thugs, believed to be tourists, kicked and beat George to death on the night of May 29. After the beating, one of the men is seen on camera tossing George’s carcass into the river.

George was a fixture on the San Antonio River Walk. He made a name for himself because of his friendliness and his ability to work tourists over for scraps of food. He boldly walked up to people on the street and at their tables.

Everyone wanted to feed George or pose in a picture with him. He was a River Walk celebrity.

3. I think they will.

The Riverwalk area folks are really incensed. I was there last night, and various restaurants had Justice for George posters up right on their menu boards. There are a gazillion cameras in the area, and I'll bet they find some better facial images.

SAN ANTONIO -- Animal rights activists and local authorities are offering a $5,000 cash reward to help track down the men responsible for the brutal death of a popular duck.

George the Duck, who was known for frolicking outside the Original Mexican Restaurant along the River Walk, was found dead on Wednesday morning.

Surveillance video revealed that two men picked up the sleeping duck by the neck and tossed its limp body into the river.

The animal cruelty case gained the attention of the H.A.N.D.S. organization -- Habitat Action Network Defense & Support.
