Two animal activists’ attempt to dob in duck hunters for shooting too many birds has gone belly up, after they failed to understand that not everything that looks like a duck quacks like one.

The activists were patrolling the Yando Wildlife game reserve, near Boort, on the opening day of the duck season in May, when they spotted hunters dragging what looked like 50 ducks off the water to stow in a small punt.

The activists contacted police and Victoria’s Game Management Authority demanding they take action, given hunters are
restricted to taking five birds a day. But when the GMA officer arrived and checked the hunters’ take they found 50-odd decoy ducks.

A very unamused GMA inspector then discovered the activists were carrying real dead ducks, so issued them with infringement notices for being in possession of birds without a licence.

That is TOO beautiful.

Fantastic!

The best! But if the magistrate is Green nothing will happen.
