A PROTESTER has been shot in the face just hours after the opening of the controversial duck hunting season this morning.Duck hunting protester shot in the face | Herald SunWitnesses say Ms Symons, aged in her 20s, was waist-deep in water when she was shot by the hunter, believed to be aiming at a low-flying bird.
I lol'd
I reckon the hunter was going for a "Two bird one stone scenario". ha ha ahhhhh
________________
I also lol'd.
Unfortunately they only use small pelets for birds. She'd have some nasty burns though.
Now the media will bash on about gun safty again.
If you ask me, being able to walk away after being shot in the face is pretty damned safe.
Yep Safety Laws will be revealed again and blaa blaa blaa. Just going to be a bigger pain in the arse.
After owning several riffles, Its easier to just go buy a riffle on the black market. Cash, Bing, Done, Next please!
But Yes being shot in the face, Not much worse then some paintball guns lol
From theage.com.au
case closed. the only person in this story who wasn't following the rules was the woman who was shot.The...woman in her 20s, was injured about 9am (AEDT) on Saturday at Lake Buloke Wildlife Reserve in the state's northwest.
...He said the injured duck rescuer had been in the water at the time of the incident and it was illegal for protesters to do so before 10am.
being shot probably sucks, but so does doing the right thing, but still having your rights gradually eroded because other idiots are doing the wrong thing
lol its like standing on a shooting range and asking not to get shot... darwin award material if she'd died lol
There are rules that say you aren't allowed to shoot people too, no matter where they pop up, which one was the shooter following. Sounds like at least the shooter should get a holiday, cant tell the difference between a person and a duck? she was hardly wearing camoflage, do shooters need to pass an eye test to get a licence?.
Anyway, easy to flippantly speculate at this stage with perhaps not all the story to hand, perhaps she was a real PIA and could have happened to a nicer person...yada, yada
ok standing in the way is not real clever but the shooter needs to visit specsavers if he missed seeing her from what must have been pretty close range for that type of gun? of course he might not have missed her.
DAMN! i thought some activist was smashed in the face with a 12 gauge!
^ yeah me too(dammit), but if that happened it would be the end of the sport altogether...
Torch, this stupid bitch is right up there with the Green peace mob who drove a boat into the side of a ship then bitched about it.
Don't get in the way and you wont get hurt. Regardless of how blind the shooter was, the dumb mole shouldn't have been in the water.
If you're driving down the road, and someone jumps infront of you, you hit and kill them. Are you to blame? Should you have seen them?
She is an idiot trying to force her opinion onto someone else. Deserved to have been shot. Pitty it wasn't with a .308
Why are people protesting anyway, the duck hunting season is sustainable, and duck is delicious!![]()

eat lead moron...mmmmm i just love peking duck
Mmm im having duck tonight![]()
Probably something to do with cruelty to animals, and just letting a pack of yobs loose on them half maiming the ducks and leaving them to suffer a cruel and slow death in the name of sport/something to do, rather than perhaps a more humane way of killing them if we need to eat them.
So you have no problem with stevie wonder waving a shotgun around the place, providing its on official duck shoot? perhaps think of the other shooters that other idiots may take out, now there's a thought, Laurie Levy could organise for a few blind shooters to go down and join the sport, that would be interesting.
It's not all hunters that leave maimed birds. My father has trained retrievers since before I was around and has had Au champions, state champions etc at retrieving trials. His ducks don't get away and the dogs carry them like a babe in arms to him. Ok.. Maybe a babe in a strangers armsThey don't leave a mark on them or they'd be "retired".
The guy who shot her is an idiot...........
only because he should have put a couple more into the ugly bitch lol
ironic, dont see any ducks saving her.
lol
And put it into as negative a light as their dear little hearts can manage. And what will the sheeple do, they will cry and fret and demand their local neighbourhood watch take up arms and march on parliament.
Until you have seen what some of these activists are like i don't thnk it wise that anyone jumps to their aid, they are extremists. And everyone knows extremists are crazy. I hate animal cruelty but i take a sensible and non-suicidal approach to my protest.
Exactly, it's no different to eating any other animal on this planet and guess what, meat comes from animals not the freaking supermarket.

i'd say she got off pretty lightly really. Mabye next time she'll "duck"![]()
Love the photo. She must be as thick as two planks. She should go over to Afganistan and try to headbutt some bigger bullets.
