Immediate Ban of Duck Shooting.
Wildlife Tasmania is appalled that the Tasmanian Labor and Liberal
Parties condone the mass slaughter of Tasmania’s native birds, this so
called sport is not acceptable and should be banned immediately.
For three months of every year licensed Tasmanians are permitted to make
their way onto beautiful State public wetlands and shoot native ducks.
Shoot dead or not… collect, cook and eat.. or not. It’s all sport.
Apparently.
We have grave concerns for the birds that are injured and left to die a
slow and painful death, this is not sport…its a barbaric act of
vandalism on our native birds.
All recreational hunting should be up for review after the upcoming
State elections.
Wildlife Tasmania supports Action Against Cruelty Tasmania and Tasmanian
Conservation Trust in their call to ban Duck Shooting Seasons in Tasmania.
