You may have heard of the government’s proposal to ‘cull’ the entire Ruddy duck species in Spain and Great Britain. Well, the massacre has already started.
So far, Ruddy ducks have been shot on their nests throughout the breeding season and notes show that many have suffered before dying.
The North American Ruddy duck was introduced to Britain in 1945. They do no harm whatsoever in Britain. Ruddy ducks migrate to Spain from Britain and are breeding successfully with Spain’s native and endangered White Headed duck. The result is a hybrid – making the White headed duck an ‘impure’ species.
The White headed duck has been endangered for years, largely due to Hunting and habitat loss, environmental damage.
To ‘save’ the white head ducks, keep them a pure species the government has started shooting the blue beaked ruddy ducks all over. Their plan is to wipe out their entire species throughout Spain and Britain.
After a trial cull, where many ducks were shot on their nests, a long-term slaughter has begun.
It is costing £5 million in taxpayer’s money and will last up to 6 years.
PLEASE sign the petition against this ludicrous and unnecessary massacre, help put a stop to this extreme cruelty, and speciesm.
THANKYOU
