ARE the nest boxes the hunting groups have so honourably constructed, for $160 each of taxpayers’ money, bullet proof?
In the name of conservation and for that price, I imagine they would be.
Can the swans and other non-game species who live on the same wetlands as ducks shelter in the boxes too, to escape the looming gunfire and noise?
If not has someone advised them where they can go while their homes are under attack and their lives are in danger?
