Duck shooting facts needed

THE pro ducking hunting fraternity, including SSAA and some National Party members, justify duck shooting because it allegedly brings money to regional areas.

However, there has never been any independent research carried out to prove this, so the statement is total insolence.

They could start by asking regional tourism operators how duck shooting affects visitor numbers, not an expensive or difficult exercise, I would have thought.

I guess they are afraid that the truth may come out, that duck shooting actually deters visitors to regional areas.
