Ozzie, Stanley Park's resident Muscovy duck was stomped to death back in November of 2011. A 15 year-old was charged with animal cruelty following a police investigation.
The bronze statue of Ozzie the Duck was unveiled during a ceremony in Westfield on Friday morning.
This is not the first memorial to the slain duck. Following Ozzie’s death, an anonymous donor paid for a plaque in his name to be placed near the pond at Stanley Park.

A makeshift memorial to Ozzie had also been in place, complete with messages from children.
