Las Vegas, Nevada – A judge has approved a release plan for a 29-year-old woman accused of harming a duckling on the Las Vegas strip. In June, Destiny Reyes was captured on video repeatedly throwing a duckling that she allegedly plucked from a fountain at Venetian Hotel & Casino.
As reported by Fox Vegas, surveillance video showed Reyes throwing the duckling back and forth between her hands over 50 times, in addition to shaking, dropping on the concrete, and striking the duckling. Reyes was also observed forcefully stretching the young bird’s wings.
Police arrested Reyes, who was described as “uncooperative,” and unremorseful at the time she was apprehended. Police noted that the woman also refused to discuss the incident.
The duckling, known as Daffy, was injured and shaking following the cruel incident – officers noted that one of her wings was too painful to touch.
Timeline
June 15: Bail set at $7,500, with house arrest and a condition that she not possess or be around animals.
July 2: She pleaded not guilty and was still in custody on the $7,500 bail. Trial was initially reported as scheduled for September 8.
August 6: Judge denied her motion to dismiss the felony charge.
August 11: Judge approved modified release conditions, but she was still physically in the Clark County Detention Center according to jail records. The court is also dealing with her possible admission to an inpatient treatment facility.
August 25: Next court date/status check.
Daffy’s condition following the attack has not been publicly disclosed. Police recovered the duck and Nevada Department of Wildlife assisted with identifying and assessing her, but authorities have not publicly identified where she was taken for care or provided a subsequent medical update.

PROSECUTE TO THE FULLEST THIS ANIMAL ABUSER! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! WHEN IS OUR “LAW” GOING TO START PROSECUTING THESE CRIMINALS WHO ABUSE AND/OR MURDER INNOCENT ANIMALS?!?!?!???
This is absolutely insane!!! When are the laws going to protect these innocent creatures, GOD’’S creatures!!!! This is just pure evil!!!! People need to be held accountable!!!!
Uncaring people like this should be placed somewhere away from animals and all society. Clearly just a cruel and heartless witch. Maybe an island with other thugs!
She is a POS that should be put in prison!!
Anyone that harms animals is a monster….period. Destiny Reyes is a menace to society and should be treated as such. She is a straight up piece of trash that doesn’t deserve empathy or sympathy. She made a choice, now she should live with the consequences of HER choice to terrorize and harm a perfectly innocent wildlife baby. She should never be allowed to walk and live freely again…..moronic POS that she is.
This piece of crap belongs behind bars! Make her pay for the cruelty she inflicted on this innocent little animal.
PIECE SHIT NIGGER BITCH, KEEP HER BEHIND BARS, HOW ABOUT WE TAKE HER BY THOSE UGLI ASS FAKE BRAIDS & SWING HER AROUND & TGEN BASH HER ON THE HROUND!! MENTAL CASE, POS!! NO MERCY ON HER!! SCUM!!
do the same thing to her since she doesn’t find anything wrong with it. these kind of people are the worst and I see no point of their existence.
No she has to pay the wicked bitch hurt that duck who probably needed adrink !!
POS
This individual clearly has no respect for the life of another living being. She deserves to be locked up for as long as possible. There is no excuse or reason for her mistreating that poor bird the way she did. People continue to torture, abuse, and kill animals because punishments for these crimes are no more than a joke. We need to hold these individuals accountable for their cruelty. They need to be punished!
That bitch should have the same done to her. Don’t let her off that easy. I doubt the duckling survived.
She is the true definition of a piece of garbage loser. She deserves the worst in life. Bless that innocent duck. Humans are such miserable creations.
POS NIGGER!! TAKE HER BY HER MOP HAIR & SWING HER AROUND, BADH HER TO THE GROUND!! HANG HER BY HER “FAKE” BRAIDS & SWING AROUND A BIT” NO GOOD FOR NOTHING. SUCH LOW LIFES!! THSTS ALL THEY KNIW US FCKING, MSKING BABIES & ANIMAL ABUSE IF NOT ABUSING THEYRE BABIES/KIDS!!
Another one to be STERELIZED ASAP.
THIS MONSTER needs a hefty piece of her own medicine!!! Animal abusers deserve what they gave in triplicate!!! They need to be deterred by BETTER PROTECTIVE LAWS in any & every way possible!!! Would like to know how this poor duck is now & I’m keeping prayers it was helped & will survive~
People out there need to find her and make her pay dearly!!!
SKANK NIGGER BEANER CUNT AND COCKSUCKING EVIL JUDGE MAY YOU TWO DIE A LONG SADISTIC TORTUOUS DEATH… RENEE CARIGLIA
Swing her by the hair and slam her on the ground 40-50 times. That should get the point across.
hang this devil her. don’t waste time
What is the reasoning behind not showing her face? She is a monster and a danger to anything smaller than she is which could include children. At least showing her face allows mothers and pet owners to avoid this vermin. And why was she released? What she did was inhumane, savage, incomprehensible to any normal person. American law regarding the treatment of animals is piss-poor and doesn’t reflect the evil it takes to do what animal abusers do to feed their hunger. These people are sick to the core and are a danger to society and most notably, to children.
There are pics of her in court, without that wig. Fake boo-hooing…
Just Google Destiny Reyes, Las Vegas, Daffy.
Though the judge is allowing “release,” he is refusing to drop the felony charge. Good.
Yeh, let’s see this bastards face! Or is it against her so-called human rights? This fool has obviously got a psychotic problem. The idiot needs introducing to my good friend ‘coke – gamer’ to steady her down somewhat! I say again, let’s see this animal torturing Bastards face. Just a shame that someone didn’t have the guts to stop her by yanking her to the ground with that stupid out of control wig. Twat needs a very severe lesson in ‘street justice’.
Effing B*!ch! keep her in prison and let the inmates at her! Do the same to her! I hope duckling Daffy is doing well!
burn her butt that innocent duck was doing nothing but enjoying life until this thug snatched her and abused her.
Evil thug needs some prison justice. She needs to have her ugly face plastered everywhere so she is easily recognised by animal lovers.
This is horrendous and she should be locked away for a long time. I agree with what everyone is saying, she is an evil woman. She should have to be monitored for the rest of her life.,

This is a crime and should be punished! People have to understand you do not abuse wildlife, under any circumstances.
