An Anti-Hunter Trying to Save Ducks Accidentally Gets Shot in the Face [VIDEO]

This duck hunting protester in Australia was wading through a duck hunt in order to save hit ducks. She was then accidentally shot in the face.

A duck protestor in Australia was wading through a duck hunt attempting to “save” the ducks that were shot down.

A shot at a low-flying duck resulted in her accidental shooting.

Back in March of 2011, these bold anti-hunters decided to interfere in a duck hunt in Australia.

A 14-year-old duck hunter took a shot at a low-flying duck and shotgun pellets hit this anti-hunter in the face. Julia Symons was hit by at least seven shotgun pellets.

Around 150 protesters with the Coalition Against Duck Hunting were out to interfere with the legal duck hunt and “rescue” shot ducks. The woman who was shot was wading in waist-deep water at the time of the accident.

No charges were filed in this case.

Let me guess. The protesters weren’t wearing safety vests either, right?

7 pellets to the face
Shooter appears to be a 14 y/o boy
Wading in front of a line of duck hunters. The stupidity is strong in this one. Feel bad for the young man - shoulders up lad. Not your fault.

Then one day on the interstate
They suddenly lose control
They swerve to miss a baby duck
They’re squashed beneath a produce truck

But they drove with pride...

And as the crowds drive past a little flat car
You know they saved a lot of gas
But they didnt get far
In a Yugo

And as they’re trapped inside
At a used car lot on the other side of town
A liberal guy and a liberal gal
Buy a Yugo....

And they drive with pride...

This was from 2011... my assumption is that after that the anti-hunters decided this was not a smart way to save ducks. She is very lucky that none of the tiny birdshot pellets hit her in the eye.
