Hi, Whatever, I'm dad.

There was a duck at a local park that got shot by a "toy" crossbow and was walking around for a day or two slowly bleeding before someone took it to the local wildlife rescue.

I don't understand why some people just feel the need to do things like this.

Unless the gator popped up and surprised someone having a picnic, then I understand the stab, but I still feel bad it's just going around as a knife-based unicorn.

I saw a duck at a park once with an arrow (like, a hunting arrow rather than a toy) stuck in it. I tried to catch it to see if I could remove it; probably best that I couldn't since those barbed arrows do more damage coming out than going in. The duck really didn't seem bothered by it, but it was probably just trying to put on a good face.

It's never a good idea to pull out a stabbing object, for the reason you mentioned, and the parts inside might be stemming blood flow. Even if you cut the arrow to pull it through neatly it wouldn't make a difference unless you were at a vet clinic that specializes in birds.

Tried to think of something witty, but this just sucks.
