Our native waterbirds need sanctuary, not slaughter.

Yet duck shooters are still allowed to maim our native species simply for fun.

Already banned in NSW, WA & QLD, community opinion regards recreational Duck shooting as barbaric.

Australia has already lost significant amounts of wildlife due to unprecedented habitat loss and environmental conditions including drought and most recently, bushfires.

Shooter numbers have declined considerably in recent decades in all states which still allows this 'sport.' This is due to duck rescue campaigns and continued public opposition.

The Animal Justice Party is opposed to shooting waterbirds for any purpose.

Duck shooting contravenes South Australian law with wounded ducks suffering painful deaths.

Under section 13 of Animal Welfare Act (1985) it is illegal to kill an animal by a method that does not cause death to occur as rapidly as possible.

Hunters have no duty to report injured birds, it is believed that a significant number are left to die slowly from their wounds every year.

We were devastated by the 2023 SA Duck Shooting Parliamentary Inquiry's recommendation to not ban duck shooting.

But we will never stop fighting until a complete permanent ban of waterbird shooting is achieved.
