When we lived in Texas, we lived near a bayou with a lot of Muscovy ducks around. Our town was a bird sanctuary by city ordinance which made it illegal to harass birds. I would tell little asshat kids that were harassing the ducks that what they were doing was illegal and I would threaten to call the police on them.
There was one time as a kid that I didn't say anything in response to senseless destruction of life. I was at camp when some kids found this huge freshwater mussel. It was beautiful. They brought it back to camp and proceeded to bash it to pieces. I didn't say a word. I just stood there and felt sick. I suppose if I was a super hero, that would be my defining moment in my self-imposed mission to protect the world from litter and animal abuse.
