The Duck Shooting Season Gets Bigger.
Dec 28th, 2011 at 5:23pm
 
Allowing duck shooting to go ahead again is irresponsible, naive and outdated, the RSPCA says.

Victorian Minister for Agriculture Peter Walsh today went to Yarrawonga, on the Murray River, to announce an expanded duck and quail shooting season for 2012, with shooters allowed to kill up to 10 birds a day for 87 days.   Sad

The season will run from March 17 to June 11 and be the state's biggest since 1999, the last time shooters were allowed to bag up to 10 birds a day.


Mr Walsh said game bird populations were breeding in great numbers after the breaking of Victoria's 10-year drought.

"Game bird populations have increased to levels not seen since 1984," he said.

"The land and our waterways and wetlands have made a rapid recovery following the breaking of the drought."

RSPCA Victoria slammed the government.

"The decision to go ahead with a duck shooting season in 2012 is biased, self-serving and not made based on a balanced argument," RSPCA Victoria president Hugh Wirth said in a statement.   Sad

"Year after year, shooting organisations and clubs are given the opportunity to pledge their case in lengthy consultation periods with the government.

"No such consultation is afforded to animal welfare organisations or the majority of the community, which oppose this barbaric sport."

Coalition Against Duck Shooting director Laurie Levy said many bird protection groups had called for the full protection of Australia's native waterbirds.

"Even though duck shooters constitute less than 0.4 per cent of Victoria's population, the Victorian government continues to pander to recreational duck shooters," Mr Levy said in a statement.   Sad

How about you post the truth behind the photo next time Pansi, like the person knew they werent allowed where they were and were tresspassing.

On another note, try coming up to places like Yarrawonga.  I took a scenic drive down that way to Toc and Cobram a few weeks back, and the duck population is the worst Ive seen it in such a long time. 

Its a traditional sport, mixed with animal control.

I guess the carp a thon they have at Lake Hume every year with prizes and all the carp is killed is barbaric as well.

Trespassing? I can't believe they trespassed. Just like in the USA, they kill trespassers. Give some people a gun and they'll shoot it if it moves.



Boy, 7, dies in apparent trespass shooting

A 7-year-old boy who was allegedly shot in the head by a couple who thought he and three other people were trespassing on their property died Saturday, authorities said.

The boy, his 5-year-old sister, their father and a family friend were off-roading near a residential area about 40 miles northeast of Houston when they were shot after stopping so the children could go to the bathroom.

Authorities said the couple fired after they mistakenly thought the group was trespassing on their property.

If you read the posts in chronological order, from top to bottom, from first to last, you will see that the replies make sense.

CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER IS THE KEY TO UNDERSTANDING.

Do you pick a book up and start reading from the middle? It wouldn't make much sense would it FRED?

I hope you are catching up on some school work over the holidays FRED. You can't spend all your time on forums and expect to get clever.

Someone on here sent me a PM saying they don't know what has happened  to Pansi as she has gone feral.

It's called age and being a bitter vile old woman.
