FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Victoria’s duck season was quieter than usual due to floods in NSW, but not the “complete flop” anti-hunting campaigners have described, the state government says.
The season ended on Monday and protesters from the Coalition Against Duck Shooting paraded what they said were illegally shot, discarded native water birds outside Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh’s office in Melbourne on Wednesday.
The group says its members patrolled Victorian shooting wetlands every weekend throughout the season and found only handfuls of hunters.
“This year’s duck shooting season was a complete flop, despite efforts … to talk up and reinvigorate duck shooting in Victoria,” group spokesman Tony Murphy said in a statement.
“However, despite low shooter numbers and very few waterbirds, we still found illegally-shot protected species, birds shot, discarded, stuffed into log hollows and left to rot on the water as well as thousands of spent shotgun shells littering the wetlands.”
Mr Walsh said duck numbers had grown as the season progressed, with birds returning from chasing floodwater habitats in NSW.
“Duck numbers were high prior to the season starting. With the subsequent flooding that was in central NSW a lot of the ducks flew north. They have returned to some extent,” he told reporters.
“Over the last couple of weeks there has been some reasonable bags from duck shooters.”
Field and Game Australia CEO Rod Drew said 26,000 people held a licence to hunt just before the season began, and that activists described every season as a flop.
