We live in paradise and it is worth sacrificing what we love for a while in the interests of preserving that long term. If we get this right the rest of the world will wish they were us. Kia kaha. Respect.

And Ive noticed that its helping to legitimising hunting. Ordinary NZ's are hearing that we are giving up something fundamental to our wellbeing and mental health. They are hearing about the roar and what it is, and that we are giving up something very important. The Gov is hearing it too. People might even be getting a glimmer of why guns are important to hunters. The Police while being part of keeping us out of the bush at least seem to recognise that we are making a sacrifice for the greater good.

Its an ill wind that brings no good.
