ALLOWING duck shooting to go ahead again is irresponsible, naive and outdated, the RSPCA says.
Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh yesterday went to Yarrawonga, on the Victorian border, to announce an expanded duck and quail shooting season for 2012, with shooters allowed to kill up to 10 birds a day for 87 days. The season will run from March 17 to June 11.
RSPCA Victoria hit back. ''The decision to go ahead with a duck shooting season in 2012 is biased, self-serving and not made based on a balanced argument,'' RSPCA Victoria president Hugh Wirth said in a statement.
