1 in 4 birds shot aren’t killed instantly. Many are left to drown or die slowly from their injuries.
Threatened species are being killed, including one of the world’s rarest waterbirds.
Pristine wetlands are being polluted by rotting carcases and shotgun cartridges.
Our investigators captured harrowing scenes of destruction and cruelty across Victoria’s wetlands.
NextWe discovered dozens of illegally massacred 'protected' species — some still alive and suffering a week after being shot.
NextDedicated volunteer wildlife rescuers brave freezing conditions and shot-gunfire to retrieve animals left wounded or dead by shooters.
NextGovernments may be bullied into submission by the shooting lobby but we won’t be. We took the fight for justice all the way to the Supreme Court.
NextOur extraordinary legal team secured crucial wins for native waterbirds, setting powerful legal precedents for animals.
NextWith court action banning shooters from key wetlands, 80,000+ precious native waterbirds have been spared the terror of being shot at in the name of ‘sport’.
NextWe’ll be reminding politicians at every turn that duck shooting doesn’t only destroy lives, it destroys families.
NextElite Australian athletes are sending the powerful message that sport is about fairness and courage, not cruelty.
NextThis campaign was made possible thanks to thousands of individuals who know that there’s nothing fun about killing.
NextWith your help, we will fight until our wetlands are free from gunfire, safe from shooters, and our native waterbirds can once again call them home.
NextNo birds were harmed for the purpose of making of this public awareness campaign. Ducks pictured are actual casualties of the 2016 duck shooting season — killed and abandoned by shooters on the Victorian wetlands.
To all of our supporters, and the wonderful people who have kindly given their time and expertise to stand up for ducks, including:
