WESTFIELD – Stanley Park officials are “heartbroken” that their resident Muscovy duck, which they named "Ozzie," was killed by some teens Friday afternoon.

“This is cruelty to animals,” Managing Director Bob McKean said.

“This duck came in on its own about three years ago. It is unique. First it stayed under the drawbridge, then it started following the other ducks around,” McKean said. “It learned to come to the barn for grain when it was raining out."

McKean is asking for the public’s help.

“If those responsible for this want to apologize that’s one thing,” he said. “We intend to pursue this.”

Anyone who witnessed the harming of the duck are asked to contact McKean at (413) 297-9455, or send him a confidential email to director@stanley park.org.

“We’ll keep reports confidential,” he said.
