ANIMAL protection activists say ducks will suffer excruciating deaths when Tasmania kicks off Australia's hunting season tomorrow.
Mr Simcox says only a small percentage of ducks are killed outright and there's plenty of time for a great deal of suffering to occur, adding it's an excruciating death.
He says activists dressed in brightly coloured clothing and armed with whistles and horns, will scare as many ducks as possible from Tasmania's Moulting Lagoon tomorrow.
RSPCA Tasmania chief executive Greg Tredinnick says most people want duck hunting banned.
