Open Season on Black Swans In Victoria ENDED!

Thanks Youtuber's. After a short sharp campaign the Minister Gavin Jennings banned shooting black Swans. Consideration of non lethal deterrents for wildlife now compulsory. Farmers used wires across paddocks and random sound devices- great lucerne! Win Win!

the point is?

There is no need to shoot Black Swans or other wildlife when there are more cost effective deterrents available

I don't have any advice, but if there's anything I can do, let me know (in Sydney).

Simple, place one on each waterfowl license for this years duck season, love to try one my older uncles/ relatives loved them during the war years, why not now? I look at them and always thought how nice they would be slow roasted. So many everywhere. Non would be wasted, pest destruction under gov rules forbades human consumption, WTF ? Use them respectfully or not at all

I must say, i shoot ducks and geese but i wont shoot a swan, there's just something about them aye.

And what about your kangaroo? how many of those are getting shot? isn't it you National slogan? Quantas? Skippies? even Kangaroo Jack...

Fantastic piece, I've sent the link to this out to every contact I have, and with any luck there will be some positive action soon.

Do you have a full list of the fauna which DSE gives permits to kill?

Good work.
