Even though grey-headed flying foxes are faced with the real
threat of extinction, the NSW Government continues to issue
permits to shoot them.
It's currently the only state where this practise is still legal.
Many of those killed are breeding females who are often left
wounded to die a slow and painful death.
They leave behind orphaned young, who then die from hunger
and thirst.
Queensland has already banned the shooting of flying foxes for
crop protection on the grounds it is both cruel and ineffective.
It's time NSW did the same.
We need to end the legalised killing of this native species.
We're asking the NSW Government to stop the issuing of
licences to shoot flying foxes when the law is reviewed.
