Are the released birds not given a grace period or chance to survive? And everyone is ok with this?
Jeez I really hope this is not the case.
That is exactly what happens. As you can see in this thread, there are plenty of people (actual hunters and sportsfolk) who are not okay with it, but it's technically not illegal, so what can you do? They need to start varying the drop-off days/times, like they do at some other sites.
