St. Paul duck loses head over idiot- literally

A St. Paul duck had it's head ripped from it's body by a Denver man who was reportedly drunk. The lead of the Fox 9 story is factual, giving a general review of the event with who (26-year-old Denver businessman), what (Duck gets head ripped off) and where (a hotel lobby). The Pioneer Press article starts with a kind of sappy lead:
"He ripped the head off a live duck inside a hotel lobby. According to St. Paul...." Both stories then go into the details of the actual event. The Fox story sums up the charges he's facing and then uses a quote from human society offical which they then spin into a statement on the danger of keeping ducks in hotel lobbies. The PP merely stated that neither the accused nor the hotel manager would comment. It closes by noting that there are still other ducks in the hotel lobby. Unless they think this isn't an important story they could use a little more perseverance there. My first sign that it was important was that, right after I read it, I said to my roommates, "Holy shit, come and read this." Novelty.
