Poor Bird!

To say the least, I was aghast after reading the following news.
What do they mean by refusing to die after the throat was slit twice? Any sane and compassionate person would have let that bird go but no - not in this case when the complain is that the bird is back on its two feet despite the horror!
Now, what do you say about this?

Duck that refuses to die

ALOR GAJAH: A duck that refuses to die after having its throat slit twice has become the talk of Masjid Tanah here.

Bahari Ali, 44, said he slit its throat about 7.45am on Sunday, but found it alive hours later.

The poultry farmer said the duck's throat had nearly been severed, but it was none the worse for it.

"Its throat had a large cut but the duck was still breathing," he said.

After observing the duck for 15 hours, Bahari sought the help of an imam to finish the job.

However, the duck did not die even after the imam slit its throat a second time.

Bahari said he had expected the duck to be dead by morning, but found it waddling around as usual.

"It is beginning to smell bad and cannot eat because of the two cuts. But it is still doing what it normally does in its coop," he added.
