Birders can do several things about the horrific slaughter that is duck

And most importantly, consider attending next season's opening morning at a
location yet to be announced.
While shooting groups claim a couple of thousand hunters at Lake Buloke on
opening morning of the duck-shooting season this year, a source in the DSE says
it was only 400. About 150 duck rescuers attended.
If we could assemble 400 people at a wetlands hosting 400 duck shooters, we
could effectively divert the birds and maybe even stop the slaughter.
