A FLORIDA LANDSCAPER who killed nine ducklings when he intentionally ran over them with his lawnmower has been sentenced to a year in jail.
A Palm Beach County judge sentenced 24-year-old Jason Scott Falbo II last week after he pleaded guilty to felony animal cruelty charges.
Authorities say Falbo mowed down the ducks on 2 May at the home of a family caring for them in Wellington. Police say nine ducklings died, while their mother and two ducklings survived.
The family says the ducklings were just a few days old. Boyd Jentzsch told police his family, including his 7-year-old son, watched from inside their home, screaming as the ducks were run over.
Also last week, Falbo pleaded guilty to domestic battery in an unrelated incident about a month before the duckling deaths.

@Shane Cormican: Real shades of the recent US election with these Ugandan goings on.
I’m sure the US will send in a diplomat to help them understand how democracy works, it’s not as if they have any hassle in their voting process. Best of luck to Bobi and his party on making changes for the better in their country and I hope they don’t have to seek help from large ‘friendly’ countries who have eyes on certain resources and not democracy.
Sudden interest perhaps related to oil drilling rights more than anything else?
So he did not win but might have a chance next time?
