Duck Shooting

Should duck shooting be banned?

The unnecessary slaughter of ducks in Australia should be totally abolished. This cruel practice will eventually lead to more species becoming endangered, it destroys the natural wetlands and non-discriminating hunters are killing many protected species. There is no need, in a society such as ours, for anyone to hunt his or her own food and, basically, it is cruel.
Firstly, duck shooting leads to more species becoming endangered. Currently the waterbirds that on the game species list are the Pacific Black Duck, the Grey Teal, the Mountain Duck, the Hardhead, the Chestnut Teal and the Maned Goose. The more and more these water birds get hunted the less there will be of these species. Duck populations are increasing because of their habitat shrinking and water drainage. Shooting is not helping them at all. Killing ducks will ruin the food chain causing more extinction in other species.
