Adult Disney Guests Are Seen Harassing Ducklings in Theme Parks

Any Disney Guest who pays attention during their Walt Disney World Resort, Disneyland Resort, or international Disney vacations cannot help but notice that adult Disney Guests have been behaving abominably — and now, that behavior has stooped to even lower lows!

We already knew (unfortunately) that Disney Guests were harassing Cast Members, assaulting other Guests, robbing people, and even mutilating other humans — not to mention engaging in all-out brawls on Disney Park streets in front of their own children.

Disney Guests Are Sinking Even Lower

Now, Disney Guests are misbehaving in ways that are also harmful to wildlife, not just other humans!

Some wonderful and adorable ducks were being escorted through Disneyland recently by Disney staff, and the duck escort was filmed by a Reddit user who shared the footage in the post shown below.

The ducks are being escorted to their desired habitat for their own protection; just like other animals or waterfowl, ducks are of course attracted to natural landscapes and bodies of water regardless of whether or not they are in a theme park.

Don’t believe us? Just ask this opossum, this bear, and hundreds of alligators!

While discussing the innocent ducks from the video, and their need for an escort, many Disneyland Resort Guests revealed previous incidents involving Guests’ harassment — and sadly, these stories did involve adult Guests who were being intentionally malicious as well as young Guests who were misinformed.

“It’s a shame people won’t leave them alone. I saw full-grown adults chasing some of the ducks last trip,” one saddened Disney fan shared.

“The Animals Aren’t All Animatronic”

“Went on a trip years ago and I saw some family grab some ducklings and hand them to their young kids,” another disgusted Disney fan added. “Ran to get cast member but by the time we got back they were gone and the ducks were in the Rivers of America. So many people roll into Disney and forget the animals aren’t all animatronic.”

In case it was not clear, wildlife and creatures like these ducks should never be grabbed, harassed, teased, frightened, caught, or fed (in fact, feeding them inappropriate food, such as bread for ducks or corn for deer, can genuinely be lethal)!

These animals are not pets — and as everyone should certainly already know, abusing pets or domesticated animals in these ways is also absolutely unacceptable.

The only ducks who will accept human contact are Donald Duck and his love Daisy Duck — and even during Character Meet and Greets, the Cast Members and character performers within these costumes are often subject to harassment, so being kind and considerate is always crucial!
