DUCK RESCUERS NEEDED TO PROTECT NATIVE WATERBIRDS

In recent years there have been around 35,000 ducks shot each year during
the three month open season in Tasmania.  The opening of the 2010 duck
shooting season is fast approaching and rescuers are needed to help protect
and preserve defenseless native ducks.  Every person that joins the rescue
team could potentially save tens of lives in the slaughter that is
sanctioned by our State Government.

We are currently building a team to walk proudly in solidarity for ducks at
the season opening on March 6th at Moulting Lagoon (near Coles Bay).
Seasoned rescuers and new recruits alike are all welcome.  There are a range
of duties to be filled so even if you don't want to get your feet wet, we
need you.

To register yourself, or find out more, call 0408 970 359 or email
nativeducks at yahoo.com.au More information is available via our website:

And take a few moments to write to the party leaders, and the Minister and
ask them to bring an end to this barbaric practice.
