Ducks to be removed from Anderson Sports & Entertainment Center

Anderson County, S.C. (April 24, 2020) – This afternoon at 3 o’clock, volunteers from Izzie’s Pond, an animal rescue organization, will begin rounding up the live, domestic ducks at Chris Taylor Park Pond.  It is believed the ducks are infected with Duck Viral Enteritis (DVE).  This is an acute, highly contagious fatal disease of ducks, geese, and swans.  The domestic ducks are being collected, so DVE doesn’t spread to the wild ducks & geese at Chris Taylor Park Pond.
