Cooking can be hard, right? Especially when you’re starting out. I remember when I first tried to bake a chicken and I ended up with a burnt bird and a smoke alarm that wouldn’t stop blaring through my house for like half an hour.
21-year-old Tiarra Duncan had an experience that was even worse, however. She went to the store to pick up some food, and decided to put together some orange ginger-braised duck. She found the package marked “duck” and quickly went to check out.
Brace yourself. It’s not too late to turn back.
As she started the process of cooking, she posted two snapchats to her story (which she eventually put on Twitter).
The first, a #foodie snap celebrating the elaborate dinner she was about to make.
The second, pure horror:
WHAT THE F*CK.
She told Buzzfeed that:
I was expecting it to look like how a whole chicken or turkey does when you buy it. No head, no feet.
She was so shook, she posted the pics on Twitter so everyone else could be shook too.

I guess you have to find the humor in everything?
However, the vegan community was not amused by the posts — saying that Duncan’s horror is exactly why we shouldn’t eat meat at all.
People who eat meat are so unintelligent. 👎

By eating meat you harm our only planet, you body, and murder a helpless animal.That's unintelligent.Do your own research.Don't be ignorant

As for Duncan herself, she found someone who was willing to butcher the duck and did finally get to eat it. But conceded it “was hard to look at after that.”
