The Brief

    • Rescuers in Massachusetts saved a duck found with an arrow lodged through its bill.
    • Veterinarians determined the injury was superficial and safely removed the arrow.
    • The duck was released back into the pond as authorities investigate the incident.

CHELMSFORD, Mass. - A duck in Massachusetts is recovering after rescuers found an arrow lodged through its bill.

Dig deeper:

Steven Salowsky of Newhouse Wildlife Rescue said he was notified after a Salem resident spotted the duck, later named Horace, at a local pond. The following day, Salowsky and other rescuers responded to help the injured bird.

The duck was taken to a clinic, where staff determined the wound was superficial. Rescuers were able to safely remove the arrow using lubricant, and no additional complications were found.

After receiving treatment, the duck was released back into the pond.

It remains unclear how the arrow became lodged in the duck’s bill.

What they're saying:

"It is simply disheartening," Salowsky told FOX Television Stations. "This duck lives near the bridge where it was found and even has a family there. Shooting an animal under these circumstances is not sport — it’s cruel."

An investigation is underway to determine who fired the arrow.

"Despite how deplorable someone’s actions can be, it is comforting to see the amount of support from people who truly care," Salowsky added.
