Ducks cannot be murdered.

The definition of murder is:

The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice.

It may be possibly, by extension, to argue that a duck killed by another duck has been murdered. But then, I'd say that the intent component may be lacking.

In any event, there is no such thing as cross-species murder.

<<I do of course feel quite sorry for the ducks who were lured to that pond, just to be murdered.>>

Thousands of ducks fed in his corn fields. He'd shoot a duck and spend hours cleaning and cooking it. Really loved to eat duck. He died a long and slow and painful death from cancer, must have deserved it from eating ducks.

How about the ducks that get eaten by foxes?
