It’s the beginning of another season of recreational duck shooting in Victoria – the first presided over by a veterinarian. Shooters are expected on hundreds of Victorian wetlands, with thousands of birds killed.
As in past years, many will be non-game or protected species such as swamphens, coots, spoonbills, swans and even raptors.
Please spend a few minutes to tell the Premier what you think. Shooting ducks is a callous slaughter which is horrifying to witness.
