Massacre at Box Flats,

Phil, you wrote, If the Statutes of Limitations expires this month re the massacre of the hundreds of birds at Box Flat 2013 then I wonder why this is only being mentioned after the point in time. Why wait till then before mentioning it for the first time . Seems odd to me. Hey ! don’t shoot the messenger. Phil the event has been mentioned dozens of time on TV. Radio and many ,many articles written in papers all over the country and was discussed at great length on this forum some time back. You can wonder no more as I only found the reference to the Statutes Limitations on the “Coalition against Duck Shooting ” Face Book Page yesterday while looking to see how many Freckled Ducks were shot opening morning and I won’t hold my breath till someone is charged for shooting them. It’s not the sort of thing that makes headlines in the Herald Sun or the Age, of course they want to keep it quiet. That is the reason I guess I waited twenty minutes to mention it, was that to long ??? It might seem odd to you but it also seems odd to me when I talk at length to people involved like members of Field and Game, Shooters Ass, Gun Clubs , Sporting Shooters, editors of their magazines etc plus people from “Water for Wetlands” that are pushing for environmental water for our swamps and the duck shooters themselves who all want these Rednecks brought to justice is the lack of support they have received outside their own clubs. I have spoken to several Bird Clubs that have written lets etc but I feel a lot more could be done especially now to try and stop the addition of the Freckled duck to the hunting list. There is a petition going around for “Water For Wetlands” you might be interested in ??? massacre. Barney.
