Christchurch Animal Save Bird Shooting: Drone Shot Reveals Hunter's Impact on Wildlife
15:38
In the first day of bird shooting season in Christchurch, the基督城动物保护协会 (Christchurch Animal Save) launched a drone operation 20 kilometers east of Christchurch Lake. The drones captured various birds, including ducks, geese, and swans. However, this initiative sparked争议 among hunters who claimed they were present at the site around 9:30 am when wildfowl began to fly and shoot. The hunter then packed up and left. The drone pilot mentioned that while he was in flight, a loud noise alerted him to someone's loud scream followed by a sudden flight of a duck and a dog approaching it. He intended to use the opportunity to elevate his drone to capture the bird but lost signal after being shot at twice. The association emphasized that this action aims to highlight the impact of hunting on wildlife and ecological balance, urging public awareness and cooperation between hunters and wildlife protectors.
