AR-News: (AU)Claims of illegal hunting

[Animalconcerns]

BALLARAT animal rescuers are calling for a ban on duck hunting following
their claim that State Government restrictions on the sport are
un-enforceable.

Members of the Coalition Against Duck Shooting have expressed outrage
after allegedly witnessing more than 80 illegal duck killings at Johnsons
Swamp, near Kerang.

Ballarat Organisation for Animal Rights secretary Lynn Trakell said about
80 hunters gathered at the site last week for the opening of duck shooting
season.

She accused shooters of flouting bag limits and restrictions, and called
for a ban on the practice.
