URGENT 
 
Click here – www.saveourwaterbirds.org – to help persuade Victorian Premier Brumby to ban the recreational shooting of native waterbirds permanently or at least call another moratorium in 2009.  This is very quick and simple.  Click on - www.saveourwaterbirds.org  - fill in your name and address and then click ‘Send email to Brumby’.

The Victorian government will make a decision on the 2009 recreational duck shooting season sometime in December, probably before Christmas. The shooters are desperate for another season and are pushing very hard. 
 
The recreational shooting of native waterbirds was cancelled in Victoria in 2007 and 2008 due to low waterbird numbers and drought. Conditions have not improved.
 
Thank you.
