Duck killing was witnessed
I write in response to an email from Patrick Croke published in the January 7 edition regarding the illegal trapping of ducks at Ettalong (Peninsula News, November 12).
I would like to inform him that I and another person witnessed Asian men trying to kill ducks in a privately owned car park and spoke to the men.
The following day, fishermen also witnessed Asian men hiding in the bushes, trapping and killing the ducks on the beach.
Just because you, Mr Croke, did not see it doesn't mean it did not occur.
Hopefully it was a one off incident by tourists or visitors to the area.
It is not racist to describe someone's appearance and it is not hearsay.
I personally reported it to Gosford Council and the RSPCA.
Mr Croke's accusations and assumptions are unfounded.
