scotty; your joking of course!
The policy is to exterminate all "non native species" from any and ALL national parks.
DoC and their NGO mates have historically been vying to change the status of RHA's into "Forest parks' with national park type management plans as well.
People , including hunters are being smothered with PC b/s in many outdoor magazines and other media but the reality is plain to see in almost any poison resource consent and management plan of regional councils.
A few, such as Taupo District and Whakatane / Opotiki Districts have insisted that regional plans recognise the value to their communities and fiscal structure of wild animals for hunting and fishing and lobby for management of these introduced resources as opposed to extermination.
Hunter apathy is allowing the continuation of the deeply entrenched government anti wild animal ideal to remain.
