VIC:Dead ducks dumped at Baillieu's doorstep

Duck-shooting protesters say they're bringing the carnage of duck season directly to
Premier TED BAILLIEU because he won't go to witness it first hand.

The Coalition Against Duck Shooting has dumped 25 duck carcasses outside Treasury Place
today .. claiming they were illegally shot.

Protest director LAURIE LEVY says politicians sanction this slaughter but they won't
go to the wetlands to witness the carnage and the suffering that goes on.

Among the dead birds was a Freckled Duck .. which Mr LEVY says is a rare and threatened breed.

The Victorian duck hunting season runs from March 19 to June 13.
