Duck hunting season outcry as Victorian government increases number of birds hunters can shoot

Animal welfare advocates have criticised the scientific rationale for the Andrews government’s decision to increase the number and type of ducks that can be killed this hunting season.
The change includes increasing the “bag limit” (the number of birds able to be shot each day) from two birds to five per hunter, and removing geographic restrictions on where teal duck species can be shot.
Hunters will be allowed to bag five birds a day.
