Only Three Cassoulets Left in Him

Stumpy the duck is down to three legs. The usual terse reporting from Ananova explains how he got one of his superfluous appendages stuck in a fence and the vet came and harvested a leg for dinner helped free him from his predicament.

But hold on. STUMPY? Surely a duck with found legs is anything but stumpy, stumpy is the kind of nickname you give someone with a stump. A four legged duck is like an anti-stumpy, Antumpy. Suddenly the story becomes more suspicious. Its as if the owners of Warawee Duck Farm were suddenly made aware of how inappropriate Stumpy’s name was and so they decided to do something about it. And rang the vet with a bribe of a fresh duck leg.
