I can excuse pedophile rings and genocides but I draw the line at dead ducklings.

I doubt it was the peroxide.. It decomposes pretty quickly. More likely the algae making the duck sick.

This is correct, algal blooms can be pretty dangerous.

Especially in direct sunlight. Surprised they went with peroxide to begin with considering the volume of the pool. Strange choice

Is it chlorinated? Peroxide would break down the chloramine

Ducks eat algae. It was probably the paint.

'duckling' if this is a real photo. Its a duckling or adolescent duck.

People at the White House have a hard time telling children from adults
