    Am just musing; but there must be something effective while legal that we in NI could do. School hols though. Taupo is a bloody madhouse with traffic today. Perhaps a line of us all along SH1 somewhere with signs? Maybe near Napier Taupo roundabout or somesuch?

    There are plenty of people in NZ that dont know what a Tahr is or that we have them wild in the Sth Island. One was a mid 60's woman, a friend of the wifes and an animal lover. She has been educated!

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Great way to get the message out there, we need a lot of the people who aren't hunters but are against this indiscriminate slaughter of an endangered ( overseas ) species by brainless twits we call our government.

    Too many words, just finish it at "she is absolute poison". And you have summed it up nicely.

    i hope someone has thought to invite a mp or two down, maybe David Seymour i see he has a spokesperson for the council of licenced firearm owners on the team so maybe his support of the game animal council and all of us passionate hunters could be too our advantage.
