I doubt it was the peroxide.. It decomposes pretty quickly. More likely the algae making the duck sick.

This is correct, algal blooms can be pretty dangerous.

Also, while the owner is raking it in on this grift, the lower-level workers might be intentionally doing a bad job because they think it's hilarious.

Is it chlorinated? Peroxide would break down the chloramine

Ducks eat algae. It was probably the paint.

'duckling' if this is a real photo. Its a duckling or adolescent duck.

People at the White House have a hard time telling children from adults

I can excuse pedophile rings and genocides but I draw the line at dead ducklings.
