RSPCA urges government to cancel ‘cruel’ hunting season

The RSPCA is urging government to cancel the 2022 duck hunting season amid “declining” numbers.

Head of Prevention Rebecca Cook told 3AW Drive some 68 per cent of Victorians want the “cruel” activity stopped.

She said community expectations were moving against the hunting of ducks.

“We’ve seen that six out of eight native game species have had a really long-term decline over the last few years,” Ms Cook said.
