Good weather for ducks? Not if they have a gunm*n lurking in the reeds waiting to k1ll them. It's time to ban duck sho0ting. Call Jacinta Allan on (03) 5443 2144 #banduckshooting #nativewildlife #wildliferescue #animalrights @victorianlabor.bsky.social

This is from the opening weekend of quail shooting in Victoria. Two males (one a child) with guns were stalking through grassland in a public reserve... It was Easter weekend, and instead of choosing peace, th ey chose violence. It's time to #banquailshooting

Stubble quail are monogamous during the breeding season. Both parents raise their babies. Chicks are hatched in nests in grassland. Stomping (often with dogs) through stubble fields or native habitat to #$HO0T and ki1l quails destroys nests and destroys quail families 💔😢 @victorianlabor.bsky.social

Stubble quails can fly about 500 mtrs at a time, max. They're ground dwelling birds who don't generally fly unless startled, and trying to get away. Quail sho0ting relies on disturbing quails from their normal living circumstances with "gundogs" or by flushing them up. @victorianlabor.bsky.social

WARNING: Distressing footage. A native Australian Shelduck is shot, injured & desperately tries to escape across the water while the shooter continues firing. This is the reality of recreational duck shooting in Victoria. A living animal fleeing in terror and suffering for a man's entertainment.

Yesterday morning near Geelong. So many beautiful birds have their lives, days, months disturbed by the horrific duck $h0oting season. @victorianlabor.bsky.social @victoriangreens.bsky.social @animaljusticeparty.bsky.social #wildliferescue #nativewildlife #australianbirds #birds

Once again, another good example of how the majority of Victoria's public are unknowingly screwed over by the duck and quail $hooting season... approved by @victorianlabor.bsky.social #nativewildlife #dogwalking #banduckandquailshooting #laws @nickmcgowan.bsky.social @georgiepurl.bsky.social

The year the "official count" has estimated 3.2 million quails in Vic. Only 123 individuals were actually counted. We need a scientific independent count of stubble quails in Vic. Just Ban Quail Shooting @enver.erdogan.mp #banhunting #banquailshooting #wildliferescue #nativewildlife #quails

Ducks are still being allowed to be k1lled for such a small number of people who hold game licences. Who don't even go out. @victorianlabor.bsky.social pander to a tiny group of loud sooky lalas #banduckshooting #allhuntersarebastards #nativewildlife #ducks #wildliferescue @nickmcgowan.bsky.social

Did you know that the Vic government has no accurate count of stubble quail numbers...??? Yet it's still legal to kill 20 quails a day Shame @victorianlabor.bsky.social It's time to BAN QUAIL $HOOT1NG #nativewildlife #banduckshooting #banquailhunting #banquailshooting #allhuntersarebastards

We are running a competition to see who can capture the best photo and video of native quails (alive) in their habitat. Enter here: form.jotform.com/260903280914... Please read T&C #photography #birdnerds #birdphotography #quails #banquailshooting @birdphotos.bsky.social @birdlifeoz.bsky.social

For this one morning, on this one wetland in Victoria, these birds get to be safe from duck shooters 💚🦆 #banduckshooting #sunrise #birdsong #nativewildlife #wildliferescue

This is the disgusting reality of the opening weekend of the quail shooting season in Vic. Men teaching violence to younger generations, & sharing on social media without even protecting these children's privacy. #banquailshooting #banduckshooting #wildliferescue #nativewildlife #quails

Wetlands locked down. Public shut out. And while we’re locked out. Over $11 million has gone into supporting ~9,500 shooters in Victoria in the last budget. @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @victorianlabor.bsky.social #duckshooting #banduckshooting #wildlife #wildliferescue #wetlands

Wildlife rescuers returned to Lake Tooliorook last weekend, where there'd previously been thousands of native birds, incl 3 types of threatened species- the lake was closed to shooting. Now there's a handful of ducks left. Not good enough @Victorian Labor @Steve Dimopoulos #nativewildlife

🤣 $ho0ters are what they are. S3nseless killing. #banduckshooting #banduckandquailshooting #nativebirds #nativewildlife @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @victorianlabor.bsky.social

Dimo...Please meet with us. We just want to talk to you about why we want a ban on duck and quail shooting. #banduckandquailshooting #rescueanimals #wildliferescue #nativewildlife @victorianlabor.bsky.social @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @nickmcgowan.bsky.social

The cost of sho0ting one duck has been independently costed at over $200. And these estimates were when diesel was cheaper. What a disgusting waste of money and life. @Jacinta Allan @Steve Dimopoulos #costoflivingcrisis #banduckshooting #privilege #wildliferescue #rescueanimals

Today, thank you to all the wildlife rescuers who spend tireless hours (and so many dollars) out there rescuing native wildlife xoxox @nickmcgowan.bsky.social @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @victorianlabor.bsky.social #wildliferescue #animalrescue #nativewildlife #ducks #quails #banhunting

From 30 minutes before sunrise today until 30 minutes after sunrise on 30 June, it's legal for shooters to kill 20 native stubble quail per day. They do not deserve to be murdered. There's no excuse for animal abuse. @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social Video clipped from -OmarMoustafaHD- YouTube channel

It's now legal to shoot small cute stubble quails in Victoria. For the next 87 days. It's dark when sh0oting begins, how can the gunm3n possibly see who they're shooting at in this light. #banquailshooting #quails #banhunting #banduckshooting @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @victorianlabor.bsky.social

In only 2 days it will become legal for each shooter to shoot and kill 20 quails a day, for the next 87 days. These are beautiful little souls, who are dying for a few men to have "fun". Tell @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @victorianlabor.bsky.social THAT YOU ARE OUTRAGED #quails #banquailshooting

It's 3 days until the Victorian quail shooting season begins. Tell @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social it's time to ban the "recreational" shooting of native birds. @victorianlabor #vicpol #birds #quail

Steve Dimopolous, Minister for Environment won't respond to our request to meet up for a chat. Contact him to let him know that you think he should respond to us... At the very least. *Feeling ghosted* @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @victorianlabor.bsky.social

A long term animal rescuer out on a Victorian wetland on the weekend shows how much it's dried up out there. This is representative of many Victorian wetlands. #banduckshooting @victorianlabor.bsky.social

"But nothing about duck shooting is 'legitimate' — it is government-sanctioned slaughter. "And that’s why I will never stop fighting to outlaw this archaic bloodsport." TAKE ACTION: vic.animaljusticeparty.org/ban-duck-sho... #SpringSt #VicPol #AusPol #AusPol26 #Wildlife #Birds #BirdsofBsky #AJP

Thank you to all the amazing rescuers who tireless look for wounded ducks at Victorias wetlands during the duck shooting season 🦆💚

Good weather for ducks? But where are the ducks? #ducks #endduckandquailshootingalliance #stevedimopolousmp @victorianlabor @vicyounglabor_ @victorianyounglabor @stevedimopoulos.bsky.social @victorianlabor.bsky.social

It is just wild that people with shotguns can be cruising around public parks near Geelong so close to shopping precincts and people's homes. Tell Jacinta Allan to ban duck shooting. [email protected]

It's so dark when people are allowed to start shooting ducks in Vic. And there is no signage or warning for the public. How is this not illegal? @steve_dimopoulos @jacintaallanmp @victorianlabor @sarahmansfield

Duck rescuers spend so much time and energy searching for wounded ducks and other birds during the 3 month long Victorian duck shooting season.

Thank you @aivgoesgreen.bsky.social for speaking up for quails and ducks. 💚💚💚

As the second week of the "recreational" duck shooting season looms. Where are all the ducks? 💔 @victorianlabor.bsky.social

Duck shooters are the pits

It's that horrible time of year again #banduckshooting

When duck shooters leave, birds can come out and live their lives, frolic, play, eat and LIVE in THEIR homes

Tell people you know that duck shooting is happening on Victorian wetlands until June 9 this year. People don't know this and they should. Tell Jacinta Allen this needs to be the last year. [email protected] (03) 5443 2144.

Duck $ho0ters leave so much crap on Victorian wetlands

Many Victorians don't know that for around 3 months a year, it's illegal for them to watch sunrises and sunsets on public wetlands that are deemed as hunting wetlands for that time.

This duck is dancing to get your attention ... so you can tell Alison Marchant, MP for the Bellarine distict that you want her to support a ban on duck shooting. Tell her here: form.jotform.com/251282445932...

Don't forget to come to the protest/outreach tomorrow? www.facebook.com/share/1Bigjz...

This is Lake Marmal near Boort last weekend. The thousands of ducks who lived here at the start of the Victorian duck shooting season in March have now gone 💔. So many Victorians don't even know this is happening.

Ban duck and quail shooting

Do people out there know that it's currently duck and quail shooting season in Victoria?

The wetlands where duck $ho0ting takes place at Lake Connewarre near Geelong is so close to homes, shops, bike and walking tracks. It's madness that this is so close.

Duck sh00ters are out and about again in Geelong 💔

It's time to ban duck shooting.
