A poor duck with a knife sticking out of its head is making everyone very upset

The RSPCA South Australia is asking everyone to be on the lookout for a duck seen in Byethorne Park, Nairne, walking around with a knife stuck in its head. 

The organization posted an urgent call for action on their Facebook page for any information about the wounded duck. They are calling this incident "an appalling, deliberate act of cruelty," and state that they have searched the park, but have not yet found the duck. 

According to the RSPCA, if found alive, the duck would require urgent veterinary care.

After seeing the images of the duck, many Facebook users questioned the validity of pictures and claimed that they might be Photoshopped.

The RSPCA responded to these claims by clarifying that the zoomed in image of the duck is from a different photo and has been flipped. Three people reported seeing the duck and the organization received images from two people. The RSPCA said they have no reason to believe the images are fake.

One Facebook user commented on the page saying that she knows one of the people who reported the incident, and attested to the fact that the images are, unfortunately, not altered.

When the RSPCA resolved the Photoshop debate, the reaction from Facebook users was of pure anger and sadness.
