Ali the 18-month-old Aylesbury duck, belonging to Sharon and Nigel Quenault, has undergone treatment again this week after being attacked for the third time at the stables in Trinity, where he lives with his partner, Alice.
The family believe that Ali may have been injured so many times while trying to defend Alice from a mauling by the dog. However, Alice did get injured once and was so traumatised that she disappeared for three days afterwards.
The previous attacks took place in February and five weeks ago, and the latest incident occurred this Wednesday, after which Ali was found once again bleeding and in shock. On the same day as one of the previous attacks, a number of chickens on a farm opposite the stables were killed.
