May 9th, 2024

Distressing new video footage from the opening day of this season’s duck shooting has been obtained by SAFE, highlighting the brutal reality faced by Aotearoa’s ducks. The video, taken on the morning of Saturday 4 May, captures a grievously wounded bird, shot by a hunter and unable to fly, struggling to escape as a hunter’s dog persistently tries to retrieve it.
