The assertion by Field & Game Australia's Rod Drew that "protesters
could have shot the ducks "to bring the shooters into disrepute"", is
nothing short of bizarre. FGA must be worried about the incident.

This incident that Debbie Lustig mentioned a few weeks ago has finally

"The shooters ‘‘ shot the shit out of ... everything that moved.’’
The slaughter embarrassed even the most hard-headed of hunters. More
than 800 abandoned duck carcasses that shooters did not bother to pick
up. At least 150 endangered ducks killed, many among Australia’s
rarest. And other dead birds – hawk-like whistling kites and black
swans– that look nothing like ducks. "
