Not For Tourists Guide Site: Shut the Duck Up! Posting

Hello All,

The Not For Tourists - City Guide Site is a great way to search your city and find out where the best places are, and where to avoid. The Shut the Duck Campaign is proud to be featured there, as a helpful warning to those who might fall victim to the Duck Rides! You can view the entire post on the Not For Tourists Site.

We hope everyone had a fun, and as quack free Independence Holiday as they could around the city. More news to come!

Thanks,
N. Darling

eSign The Petition against Ride the Ducks

We the undersigned do hereby call for respect from the Philadelphia Ride the Ducks Tour Company. The Ride the Ducks Tours are loud, noisy, obnoxious and an ear sore to local citizens of the Philadelphia area. By blasting music, shouting over a loud PA system, and encouraging the tooting of “quackers,” the Ride the Ducks Tours consistently disrupt the life of the average Philadelphian and are violating a number of noise pollution laws. We ask for Ride the Ducks Tours to work for a better relationship with Philadelphia residents and by agreeing to three guidelines:

1) When driving through a residential area, Ride The Ducks Tours will respectfully lower their music, exhibit a more restrained use of the PA system, and encourage a more mindful use of “quackers.”

2) Ride the Ducks Tours will revise their tour routes of Philadelphia to minimize exposure to the residential community.

3) Ride the Ducks Tour guides will no longer encourage tourists to “quack” at individuals on the street.

We hope that Ride the Ducks Tours aspires to have a better relationship with the citizens of Philadelphia, and will thus respect the wishes of the undersigned. By following these basic guidelines, we know that Philadelphia residents and Ride the Ducks Tours can peacefully co-exist in the great city of brotherly love.
