Horror as duck killed in front of children
A GRANDMOTHER and her grandchildren were left horrified when ducks they were feeding at a holiday park were run over by someone working on the site.
At least one duck was killed in the incident which happened at Trecco Bay holiday park, Porthcawl.
A spokesperson for the holiday park said the incident was an “unfortunate accident” and the ducks had run out in front of the vehicle being driven by someone working on the park while the children were feeding the ducks.
Grandmother Carrie Godwin said the incident happened outside a holiday home they were using at the time on Friday, June 21.
Ms Godwin said: “My son and his children witnessed a Parkdean estate worker run over a group of ducks while my family were feeding them.
“One of the ducks was killed and the other two ran off. These ducks
Reporter have lived at the park for a long while.
“My grandchildren are traumatised as they witnessed this incident,” she said.
Carrie said she reported the incident to Trecco Bay who offered the children a free soft play voucher which the family accepted.
“They sent someone to clean up the blood immediately and they put the deceased bird in a black bag and took it away,” Carrie said.
“The RSPCA have been informed. Luckily we’re going home tomorrow and because of this incident will not be coming back, which is a shame as we love the beaches here.”
A spokesperson for Parkdean Resorts, which owns Trecco Bay, said: “This was an unfortunate accident and we have apologised to the family for their experience.
“We spoke with Ms Godwin and her family on the park and offered a gesture of goodwill which they accepted.”
