End the Duck Slaughter

End the Duck Slaughter - Our native waterbirds need sanctuary, not slaughter. Yet duck shooters are still allowed to maim our native species simply for fun. Shooting ducks is morally unacceptable to the majority of Victorians and studies show time and time again that native duck numbers are consistently declining as a direct result of the climate emergency and drought. Duck shooting has already been banned by Labor Governments in New South Wales, Queensland and Western Australia. It's time for Victoria to do the same. Right now, the lives of native waterbirds are hanging in the balance as the Andrews Government decides on the future of duck shooting.

"Victoria announces shortened duck hunting season amid review of ‘increasingly contested’ practice.
Despite calls for a ban, the season begins on 26 April and will run for about a month less than it did last year."

Unbelievable. This cruel practice continues. And what is a "parliamentary inquiry into the future of duck hunting" going to contribute? We know all the issues against #DuckShooting. It is no longer allowed in other states.
