So to prevent jail time I'd kill the ducks.

Only it would have required your acting to avoid killing the humans. Surely it isn't a crime to not act Tongue

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
