Oh yes, the first time I saw a duck killed that way, I was appalled, and I was already 30 years old. When I was younger my grandmother made duck soup, called "Chadnena" and one time she brought the blood home from the butcher, I stuck my finger in it, thinking it was cholcolate.....Yuck!!!! But the soup was out of this world.
