	Animal Aid : Press Release
		Animal Aid will be at the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT), Slimbridge on Good Friday (April 2nd) to protest against the organisation's support for the government's planned slaughter of thousands of ruddy ducks.
		Animal Aid protesters - dressed as ruddy ducks and as a 'WWT Bird Killer' - will be informing WWT and the hundreds of holiday visitors what they think of the slaughter programme, which could lead to the destruction of 4,000 birds.
		The supposed 'logic' behind the killing is that ruddys, introduced to Britain from North America by the WWT itself, have bred and spread to Spain where they are mating with the endangered white-headed duck (endangered because it has been hunted and its habitat destroyed by people).
