Clay targets are a legitimate form of shooting and those are often the shooters who are assumed to be pro duck shooting but the truth is the opposite. Duck shooting has very little support left.

Here is a female Australian Wood Duck currently in care, just to brighten your day. – at Melbourne, Victoria
This duck shooter plucked this dead bird in front of wildlife rescuers, laughing as he did so, just to taunt those who though this duck deserved to keep living.
Duck shooters are not good people. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Duck Shooters in Victoria unironically tell us how they respect the birds they kill.
Does this look like respect? – at Melbourne, Victoria

This is the toll of duck shooting in Victoria, from one man, in one afternoon.
No knowing how many flew away injured from this killer, to die in great pain over the coming days.
Government sanctioned animal cruelty.

If GMA can't identify and prosecute these offenders, then the Labor Government's claim that duck shooting is responsibly managed is a tax payer funded lie.

shooter "stuffs one of the birds into a pocket. He then stomps on what appears to be a bird in an attempt to bury it in the mud. The bird resurfaces & it looks very much like a threatened Blue-wing Shoveler" via @DuckRescue

How to use the Easter holiday?
If the idea of killing birds for fun jumped into your mind as an appropriate celebration of a Christian holiday - seek professional help please. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Every year these horrendous seasons are approved we see endangered species being killed and there have been deaths in past years of shooters. They are unnecessary carnage, a clear majority of Victorians get it. Why doesn't the Premier?

Apparently Mary-Anne Thomas is one of the key individuals supporting the carnage.
Using guns doesn't make you tough.
Using guns against ducks DOES make you weak.
Bloodsports are pathetic.
