The practice of hunting dugongs and turtles then prolonging their death, such as by cutting off their fins or leaving them on their back in a boat is currently legal (for aboriginals only) due to a loophole in animal welfare legislation. Queenslanders are sick of animal cruelty being condoned under the guise of traditional hunting: the state opposition is taking action to change this.
Next please: shark finning: sharks are caught, their fins removed, then thrown back into the water to eventually drown.
