This is just wrong and I can't image what would make a person do something like this. 
It made me sick to read the story.

Ducklings Killed In Brandon

BRANDON - Who would kill 14 ducklings in a pen by someones house by stomping on them, and why?
Thats what Hillsborough County investigators are trying to determine after finding the dead birds early Tuesday morning in the Providence Lakes subdivision, Hillsborough County sheriffs officials said.
Someone stomped most of Tom Breitsprechers ducklings to death between late Monday night and early Tuesday morning sheriffs spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.
Three ducklings survived with broken legs and wings, but they had to be euthanized by a veterinarian. Breitsprecher said they were still peeping when he found them.
A month ago, Breitsprecher paid $80 to have four varieties of ducklings shipped from an Iowa hatchery. He planned to release them on the lake next to the couples home after Thanksgiving and enjoy watching them grow to adulthood, he said.
Brietsprecher said he built a small pen, and each morning he fed the birds and watched as they paddled around in a little pool.
The pen sits outside a living room window. At 11 p.m. Monday, Breitsprechers wife, Susie, checked the ducklings before the couple went to bed.
After waking Tuesday, the husband found the dead birds. Four were outside the pen, probably because they tried to escape, he said.
Whoever killed the ducklings faces charges of animal cruelty and trespassing, sheriffs spokeswoman Debbie Carter said.
Breitsprecher is offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprit, he said.
