                       You can lead a duck to water but...

Iraqi Zeynep El Zuheyri took some ducks from a pond in Istanbul's 
Başakşehir district and put them into a sack (!) creating quite a reaction
on social media.  It turns out that the ducks belong to Zeynep hanım
but she put them in the pond because her neighbors were complaining
about the noise they made at her home.  

The story began last Sunday when a video was shared on social media
of a woman taking ducks from a pond in Başakşehir and putting them 
into a sack.  Accusations flew around the internet that the woman stole
the ducks so police tracked down Zeynep hanım, took her statement 
and released her when it was understood that the ducks were hers in 
the first place. 

Zeynep hanım explained, "we raised the ducks at home but their 
noise disturbed the neighbors so we brought them to the pond. But 
the pond workers said we couldn't leave them there so we took them
back.  People there began to take videos. I told them they were my
ducks and not to take videos, but they did anyway.  Since the ducks 
were raised in the house we were told they would die at the pond. So
we will find a caretaker for them."









     








                   ...they'll miss the comforts of home.
