Today is the first day that native quails are safe from gunmen during the recreational quail shooting on Victoria. Let's hope it's the last sickening season. @victorianlabor.bsky.social

With the prospect of avian flu arriving in Victoria any day, it's obvious that a stop to the Quail Shooting Season (ends 30 June) Yet the government has dug its heels in again saying, in relation to the quail shooting season, that there is "absolutely no reason why that would change at all".

On Thurs night when questioned on the Outdoor Recreation Vic Bill, Minister for Enviro & Outdoor Rec, Enver Erdogan consistently had to check with his colleagues for answers to questions he was asked by The Greens & the Animal Justice Party. How much does he actually know about what he's supporting?

Last night the Outdoor Recreation Vic bill was debated. Its clear that "Enviro Minister" @enver.erdogan.mp doesnt care about basic transparency, rejectong any amendments making govt accountable. Let ur local MP know u don't support this bill: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/members/memb...

While the duck shooting season finished on Monday, it is still legal to shoot native quails in Victoria until 30 June. This is the reality of how these tiny sweet birds are murdered. It's time to ban quail shooting. #banquailshooting video credit -OmarMoustafaHD- on YouTube

The duck sh0oting season is now legally over in Victoria. And once again the GMA were not out again (on closing night) to even monitor, let alone prosecute illegal sho0ting. Thank you to everyone who is fighting to keep native waterbirds safe ❤️.

Gunm3n $hoot in the pitch black. And these gunm3n who are sho0ting before time cannot possibly be regulated by the GMA when they don't do the bare minimum and get out of their cars and at least pretend they are out there doing something. #investigstethegma #banduckahooting #animalrights

Rescuers returned to Lake Tooliorook last weekend, where there had previously been thousands of native birds, incl 3 threatened duck species. This should have been enough to get the lake closed to shooting. Now theres just a handful of these ducks left. Not good enough @victorianlabor.bsky.social

This is from the opening weekend of quail shooting in Victoria. Two males (one a child) with guns were stalking through grassland in a public reserve... It was Easter weekend, and instead of choosing peace, th ey chose violence. It's time to #banquailshooting

Stubble quail are monogamous during the breeding season. Both parents raise their babies. Chicks are hatched in nests in grassland. Stomping (often with dogs) through stubble fields or native habitat to $ho0t and ki1l quails destroys nests and destroys quail families 💔😢 @victorianlabor.bsky.social

End Duck and Quail Shooting Alliance @edqsa.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
Stubble quails can fly about 500 mtrs at a time, max. They're ground dwelling birds who don't generally fly unless startled, and trying to get away. Quail sho0ting relies on disturbing quails from their normal living circumstances with "gundogs" or by flushing them up. @victorianlabor.bsky.social

WARNING: Distressing footage. A native Australian Shelduck is shot, injured & desperately tries to escape across the water while the shooter continues firing. This is the reality of recreational duck shooting in Victoria. A living animal fleeing in terror and suffering for a man's entertainment.
