Would-be Trump running mate doesn't just talk about her monumental dog training failure - where she SHOT IT DEAD - but BOASTS of it. Seriously repulsive stuff theguardian.com/books/2024/apr…

The dept was first told about Modewarre's threatened Australasian Shovelers on 4 April; 6 days before the season.
It sat on its hands until 10/4
On 11/4, it surveyed the lake & closed it 12/4, allowing shooting for 3 FULL DAYS
Reports from the public are a joke Animals Australia

Good to see Sooty Owls getting back into areas of Bunyip State Park heavily impacted by the 2019 fires. One of two found in a quick visit on the weekend.

Entirely due to the surveying efforts of Kevin Bartram. I just brought the snacks :)

'Lol, one by one, we will get them closed, boys!'

'GO HARD OR GO HOME AMIRITE MATES?
Well, I went hard - & now I've been forced to go home.

Because the government will do anything to hide #duckshooting cruelty.

I've been banned from entering wetlands for the entire season.

How is it that what I did was illegal ...

The government has closed Lake Modewarre and Moodie Swamp State Game Reserve to shooting. Modewarre has 145 threatened Australasian Shoveler. Moodie Swamp has threatened Brolga. All birds on both are now safe from the shooters' guns

All you really need is something to eat and someone to eat it with #babyguineapigs

This made me think of 'The Big Twitch' by Sean Dooley
