Take action to stop the shooting of grey-headed flying-foxes - WWF supports the campaign to end the issuing of licences by the NSW Government to shoot this threatened species for crop protection.
Many are breeding females who are often wounded to die a slow and painful death. They also leave behind orphaned young, who then die from hunger and thirst. Queensland has already banned the shooting of flying foxes for crop protection.
It’s time NSW did the same.
www.thegreycross.org is a grass roots campaign directed at the NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, Carmel Tebbutt. Through this campaign, they want to let her know the NSW people want her to change the laws that issue licences to shoot this endangered species. She will have the opportunity to move legislation to make the killing of flying foxes illegal in June 2009.
