Duck Rescue Home Page

The last update to these pages is a Java demonstration of a shot gun in action.

This is a wounded hardhead euthanased by duck rescuers at Bool Lagoon after shooters failed to retrieve it. The smashed beak is the result of a single shotgun pellet. Had the duck not been caught, this and other injuries would have guaranteed a miserable death.

Each year in Australia there are many hundreds of thousands of ducks left maimed and wounded by duck shooters. These WEB pages will help you gain detailed information to enable you to effectively lobby to stop this barbarism.

For those who want a graphic illustration of why wounding occurs, see the Java demonstration .
