i think that duck shooting should still be alowed becuase its fun to go out in the morning and go hunt some ducks becuase theres no one there annoying you and that its nice and peacful plus ducks tast nice and they are good for hunting becuase there not very fast plus its good becuase you get to walk around and you could bring a portable fire and then have some duck for lunch or dinner
I think duck shooting should not be banned because if you want to have some father and son or father and daughter time its great and its a lot of fun.If you ban duck shooting because people die from it then you will have to ban driving cause of all the crashes and deaths. If you go camping a duck would make a good dinner and you would feel proud that you managed to shoot a duck.
I think that it shoudn't be banned for sure because why should we let two bozos ruin it for us by shooting their mates because duck huntig is absolutely great fun especially if your camping and you go spend the shooting ducks then you can come back and have a great duck stew or something with your portable stove then settle down for the night with no ducks quaking and waking you up
I think it shouldn't be banned because if a few people make a mistake it's not fair that every one else has to be punished for it and because the people who have killed the other people probley feel really really bad about doing it and it will make them feal even worse if duck hunting was banned because of them. People who do it for pleasure will just have to take the risks or stop doing it!
I don't think that the sport should be banned most of the duck shooters would have common sense not to do things like drink and shoot which was the cause of one of the incidents. If they don’t then people shouldn't be giving them gun licenses in the first place. And I agree with Chris out of the thousands of people who go duck shooting in New Zealand only an extremely small percentage get killed or seriously injured and the government can put laws in place to help inforce safety issues
i think the duck shooing should be banned beacuse lots of the ducks die and hapes of people die as well so that is why it should be banned by ashley beattie
I think that they should not ban duck shouting because it is a great thing for people who enjoy it. They should not ban it because a small amount of people get shot, accidents do happen, someone could accidentally put a blanket on a heater and could burn their house down and they could die, does that mean their going to ban the use of heaters. We're only human we cant stop people from dyeing, there are dangers in our every day life so we cant just ban everything that has some risk to it.
i dont think that they should bann duck shooting because it is a hoobby for some people. and they could just go out and get hit by a car but does that mean they are going to bann driving. also alot of people like to eat duck (not me!!!!!!!!!) it goes in stews. and if people didn`t shot them the world would be over run with ducks and peoples crops would be destroyed. and their pets like chickens could die if the ducks came and ate all their food.
I don't think duck shooting should be banned. Just because one person makes a mistake it doesn't mean that it should be ruined for every body else. If duck shooting is so dangerous then you don't have to do it. For some people duck shooting is a sport. The guy didn't mean to shoot his brother it only happened because he didn't identify his target, or where he was aiming his gun. Ducks eat crops. If no one shoots ducks then they will eat all the grain and humans will not have any grain to make bread, humans come before ducks.
Just because someone accidentally shoots someone doesn’t mean that hundreds or even thousands of farmers who enjoy and safely undertake duck shooting have to be banned from this. Duck shooting is what most hunters enjoy as leisure time, and wear all the appropriate gear for shooting. If you are duck hunting there is always a risk and it is the responsibility of EVERYONE that is shooting that they do the correct things so these incidents don’t happen. Most farmers and hobby shooters do all the right things and those people shouldn’t be punished. Furthermore, duck shooting is like a sport and there are heaps of competitions that are all based about duck shooting. If there are competitions about this type of shooting then that states that duck shooting is safe and controlled. There is a special time in the year where duck shooting is allowed so this means that not as many ducks will be killed and so there is less chance of deaths from the already small percentage of this event occurring. I agree with Chris, Charlotte and Yana, just because someone forgot to lock their house and got robbed doesn’t mean that having a lock in every house becomes compulsory. People enjoy hunting ducks in their leisure time and others call it a sport and have it for generations in their family. If shooting ducks becomes banned, what happens if a natural disaster occurs and you have no food but a group of ducks in your pond? You’re obviously going to shoot them. In the olden days, hunting ducks was absolutely normal, and maybe only a small percentage of deaths, and so that shouldn’t be changed in our generation.
I think duck shooting should not be banned. Alot of people treat it as a sport. Banning duck shooting for one persons mistakes is unfair. It isnt like they intended to shoot him. More people have success going duck shooting than getting killed doing it. Alot of ducks are pests and are a nuisance. If people are getting killed it is their fault for not checking out the risks and danger in the first place. Rose ;D
no because i think its just the hunters not being careful enough when they go shooting.And if we were to ban hunting it would be not just punishing the careless hunters it would also be punishing the careful hunters who havent shot a single human being. Which i thnik is really unfair
I think that duck shooting should not be banned. It is only the shooters fault and responsibility for what he does with a gun. Take a nother sport, for instance soccer, if you accidentally injure someone you don't get banned from the game. Just because one person did something wrong it doesn't mean that the rest of the people going duck shooting should be stripped of their leisure time.Consider the deathes each day compaired with the deaths or injuries duck shooting then you shall understand that injuries going duck shooting is a very, very rare occurance.People need to understand that shooting with guns is not a game an that they need to be taken care of and used in the correct manor.
NO i don't think that it should be band because it is really fun when you get around to doing it. pepole make money out of doing that by selling the ducks that they shoot some people think that shooting things is extremly deskusting but that is the serkil of life. the ducks eat akorns off the trees and we eat the ducks.
No duck shooting should not be banned because ducks could become over populated and they are already a pest, so they will ruin farmers crows so if they can’t shoot them they would not get less income and a bio products free meat. plus I have not had the joy if going out to shot ducks and most other children.
No. just because a couple of people accedentially shoots and kills somebody doesnt mean that hundreds of people should have too give up their choice of sport. what would farmers do if there was no duck shooting? just let them all eat their crops and things. lots of people like duck shooting so thats not fair on everyone else. if we didnt have duck shooting then the world would become overpopulated.
I think that duck shooting should not be banned because duck shooting accidents are rare and are hardly a bleep on the deaths per year. Duck shooting is also quite different to other hunting because you can only shoot when the bird is in the air and 30 to 40 mertres away, so i think the only way "Barrie" could have shot his brother is when he was loading and pulled the trigger when he brought his gun up to aim, in the consequence killed his brother.
i think that it should not be banned because it is a good hobby and just because 1 person accidentally shoots someone doesnt mean everyone does and if you take away duck shooting youll have to take away driving because more people die in that. And he would of paid the consequences enough by killing his brother
I think duck shooting should not be banned because it is a hobby for many farmers and this doesn't mean that everybody will not take saftey precautions when out duck shooting. Lots of families use duck shooting as family bonding. Farmers go out duck shooting for hobbies and fun leisure time.
I think that duck shooting should be band because the ducks are harmless to you .I think that if you have pests on your land then it is ok to shoot them ,but if the creature is harmless and you were not going to eat it then why kill it ?I think that it is cruel to kill a duck that could be a mother or father to an innocent little duckling or ducklings .It is also very dangerous and an incident like this has happened before and I think that it will happen again if we don't stop it .You could be in this situation if you go shooting and before long most of the ducks will be extincted and who knows what hunters will be shooting next ...
i think that duck shooting should not be banned because the two man who shot his brother was not follo wing one of the most importent rules of firearms allways ideterfy your target and if people folloed that rule there woukld not have been half the total of deaths and if duck shooting is banned somwon would end up assanernating the man hoo killed his brother BY TOM PASCOE
i do not think duck shooting should be banned, because it is a sport for some people like swimming, horse riding....etc,etc is a sport for others. also if you didnt shoot duck they wud rule the worldd!!!!!!!!!!!!! and they wud eat all the crops and we wouldnt get to eat a lot of veges and we wud end up fat because we vudnt eat alot of healthly stuff. duck shooting shudnt be band just becoz some1 got killed its the same as a car crash driving is not band and look at how many people have died in car crashes, and duck is nice to eat (i think!)

i do not think duck shooding should be banned at all beacuse duck go on ro peooples farm so they need a gun to kill the ducks and duck shotting is a lots of fun it can be time with ur dad or mum to ashley b
Duck shooting should be banned! I think (in my opinion) duck shooting is cruel.I hate seeing totally innocent ducks just being shot for fun. if there is a need for duck that is understandable, but i see no reason as to why duck shooting is illegal and then for some period of time its allowed?...
I believe that duck hunting is as much of a sport as football or rugby. It has risks but if you are dedicated enough you will risk anything to do it. I think that new rules should be provided so it is safer and accidents will be minimised. People need to identify there target BEFORE shooting and the need to obey ALL rules at ALL times.
Ducks are annoying animals, the steal food you have given to you pets, they ruin your crops and they poo all over your beautifully grown lawn. If the internet is correct and the world will die by 2012 then what if the ducks survive and become the dominant species?
So what harm is a few ducks here and there. Anyone can be able to do there hobbies and sports. And remember it's only a couple of seasons a year.
