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.

If she walked like one,
and talked like one...
Ah, never mind.
While she was out there,
she could have at least had the courtesy
to make like a retriever and
bring the ducks to where they belonged.
Could have saved the other dogs the effort.

give the dog a bone
for retrieving all the other ducks
Retrievers tend to be loyal to humams. Anti-hunters? well, not so much.

You'd think a croc would've taken care of her.
meant to write "know who our friends are" instead of are & are twice.
But you are correct. It is an awesome story. Awesome dog, and awesome guy.
