PEOPLE BEING PEOPLE

An Oregon woman is being sued for $275,000 after her pet duck allegedly attacked a woman on the street. The victim’s attorney said the pet bird, Squirt, was known as the “crazy duck” for its previous predations on humans, and had knocked his client over, breaking her wrist. But a woman who knows Squirt well insisted that the duck was just overly friendly. “He liked to bite legs and try to hump people,” she said.
