Thread: Here We Go Again

Eugenie and DoC are gonna kill everything to do...what? Kill everything I guess. https://www.stuff.co.nz/environment/...-for-mega-mast They seem oblivious of the fact that 1080 kills birds as well as everything else in the food web. Oh well, we can always listen to the sound of falling seeds instead of birds and roaring stags. 30 million of our dollars poisoning waterways and all the rest that goes with it. It'll probably kill the last few kakariki, also.

I predicted that after the first Battle for the Birds campaign, that mast years would now be predicted by DOC every year...regardless of the science.

what a bunch of uncle fuckers.

Yes, the bullshit line from F and B fed farmers and DoC was actually a beech mast every 15 years!!
Battle for our Birds
“Battle for our Birds
Beech Mast
Once every 15 years New Zealand beech forests produce high levels of seeds (mast) triggering a rodent and stoat explosion.”
Turns out it’s every two. Anyone who takes a single press release from these people as scientific fact needs their head read.

Seems to have be every year lately.....global warming Bro.....

And now its Global warming. So if you argue against it, you're against global warming. Except when its not warming - then its called climate change.

and possums, killed a few in my backyard
Another pest - developers cutting down all the native trees (where the native birds hung out) to make way for more ugly houses to fit more imported people.

Their ultimate goal is to eradicate all introduced species at the end of the day but never come straight out and say it. They spin it to "only" be about native birds, or some plant, that nobody misses anyway. That's my opinion and what I believe.

You are up against extremists. And as someone wrote some where, the greater public are incapable of sorting out the bull shit.


Lets face it the day may come when all hunting firearms will be of no use,,,is that what they are looking at?

That favoured word By- kill has been used for a very long time. Does it really mean ( as many deer as possible)? I think so,I'm also old and some what paranoid lol.

Shit, I hope introduced species does not include humans

Many of the native species to this country were annihilated before European settlers arrived. These annihilated species eat foliage, the introduced ones are just replacing the ones of the past. Or have I got it wrong and the annihilated species lived on fresh air.

Welcome, you are picking up the fishy smell of a particular New Zealand type of provincialism.

Just another bull shite story to justify using 1080. Nothing will change with DOC and F&B until all introduced species are killed. In my view it isn't climate change, its just the same weather we had about 15 years ago so its just another reason to poison. Just my two cents worth.

If it wasn't so utterly tragic, the stupidity would almost be hilarious.
