Please help Animals Australia raise awareness about the brutality of duck shooting. Australia has an appalling reputation for Animal 'Welfare' ( live export and mass shootings of ducks, camels and kangaroos are just a few examples). Surely most of us are against such cruelty. Let's help spread a message of compassion and empathy for other animals.
