Kids chasing pigeons and ducks

Yet another day of seeing children chasing ducks with the parents doing fuck all to stop them. This was even worse in that the parents were both filming the two kids on their phones and obviously finding it funny and cute. Since when is terrifying animals funny? I see it regularly with pigeons and ducks and I'm so sick of it.

Aibu to think it's animal cruelty?

Why didn't you say this to the parents?

What makes you think I didn't?
