You Could Not Make This Up

Holy fucking shit. I have never met this guy and know only his name, nationality and job, and I already know he's a fucking riot.

Michel Rouyer, a French farmer, has been arrested and fined for feeding cannabis to ducks.

There is nothing I can think of that could make that sentence rock any harder, except maybe replacing the words 'arrested and fined' with 'applauded and given more ducks'. He said he did it to rid them of worms, and that his flock was now in excellent health. He also admitted to smoking a little bit of it. The awesome part is that they didn't arrest him for that, or possessing it, and rightly so; the hilarious part was that giving it to the ducks was the bit they charged him with. It's not like it's cruelty, unless it gives them the shits or something, which the BBC report doesn't mention, but check out this accompanying photo:



That is the most relaxed duck in the entire fucking world.

Rumours that the police were tipped off by a disgruntled baker from down the street, holding a grudge after being cleaned out by an entire flock with the munchies, can be disregarded as too funny to be real.
