Please join our efforts to
ban duck hunting.

Duck hunting season started in May and we immediately began taking in
ducks who had been maimed by hunters.
It's bad enough that people shoot these precious birds.
Making it even worse is the sad fact that many birds are struck by shotgun pellets
but not killed outright,
and die slowly and painfully.
These are the birds that we are seeing at WBRT.
Although it is hard to believe that anyone would want to shoot at, kill, and injure
these gentle, beautiful creatures,
duck hunting is so widely accepted that it will be a significant challenge to
change people's minds and official policies.
But we love these birds and have to try!
You can help by being an advocate for ducks.
Spread the word about the devastating effects of duck hunting.

Thank you!

This sweet Paradise Shelduck is one of the recent gunshot victims who have been brought in to WBRT.
We've named her Honey. ❤️ She was shot but was not killed instantly: instead, this shooting led to a broken leg and an injured wing... and she was then left to suffer and die slowly and in great pain. Lucky she was found when she was and was brought to us for care. |
