The British government declared open season on the ruddy duck on Monday, saying it wanted to wipe out the sexually voracious fowl.

Any relation to Clintoon? :)

And how is the hunting supposed to be accomplished? Guns, mostly banned. Knives, being banned. Air guns and bb guns? Being banned. Carrying "offensive weapons?" Banned.

I guess they will have to hire American duck hunters to come and help them out seeing how the Brits wouldn't know which end of a evil banned gun to point towards the duck.

"But welfare group Animal Aid said the white-headed duck's problem was not the amorous attentions of its feathered cousin but gun-toting Spanish hunters."

As usual, the retarded armchair environmental experts only add to the problem. The ruddy ducks aren't any more ruddy bulletproof than the ruddy white-headed ducks. AND if they can interbreed, they must not be seperate species.

I've hunted ruddy ducks in the US. It's not very sporting. They don't decoy well and fly very slowly. Most of them I shot on the water.
