Thread: More Tahr culling coming up

https://www.stuff.co.nz/timaru-heral...f-tahr-control

Just in case you thought Doc were limited to 125 hours of culling and that this was a real blow already ....think again.

The Second round of eradication is about to begin. (or more like the 3rd round)

I think this will be the end of Tahr hunting as we know it. The damage that has been done from all this culling will take many years to recover if ever.

The goal was to eradicate nannies and leave a few bulls to shut hunters up for a couple years.

But guess what.... without a good sustainable population which includes breeding stock then the bulls wont be there in the future.

What is happening with the Tahr foundation??? Have they given up the fight and conceded defeat because of the Himalayan Tahr control plan??

Surely the total population is down to very low levels now and well under the Tahr plan limit

I laughed when i read at the end “We expect to make a decision on the reconsidered Tahr Control Operational Plan by the end of the month.” It was already decided long before any consultation.

Is it not just the final 7hrs of the original 125hrs?

With a headline that says the second phase is about to begin?

Just remember it's a 'Stuff' article you're referring to. Hardly the most reliable or accurate source of infomation.

So what options do we have left from a government dictatorship that we now have?? We have been backed into a corner.

So this is what Doc and the extremists that are ruling and ruining our country do your people of NZ.... you destroy our recreation, our passion, our livelihood, goals and aspirations.
There was no proper consultation and the lies coming from these extremist greenies are obscene.

The media are fueling the propaganda to sell it to the city folk whom are believing all the lies.

So why don't we use the methods these lot use. Get some video footage of these culls underway. Highlight injured/maimed animals lying on the ground. Show what 10 000 carcasses dumped in the country side looks like and ask what would happen if a farmer did it.

I have seen some footage of these culls and I'm pretty sure if the animal loving lot saw what really went on there would be outrage. Do it the same way this lot do it, with emotive BS and hype. Get some comment from farmers on what would happen to them if they treated their animals this way then dumped them in streams and waterways. What would happen to them if they shot an animal and left it injured to fend for itself. Start employing the tactics the woke lefties use and turn public opinion against DOC. People are already outraged by 1080, capitalise on that.

Some of you must have some pretty good photos of these "majestic stately" animals in a stately pose on a rock outcrop and then some of one that has been shot or wounded. Make them cute and majestic, the public will then be angered that we are doing this to animals. At the end of the day most are animal lovers and would be horrified if the truth was in front of them. The way the Greens are at the moment with Bishop Shaws fiasco it wouldn't take much to turn voters against Sage and her cronies.

Run some video on facebook and get it in the news bulletins.

Looks like it, is there any statement yet from the tahr foundation? I see in there doc’s consulted with the 14 submissions from stakeholders So they are free to move forward with there plan another 125 hours. Seems they just don’t get how unpopular this is

On TV1 news tonight.

Seems there will be less ‘culling’ outside of Mt Cook National park

I’m not sure if they got that right? I don’t get that impression from the doc website anyway. In July they implied more of a focus in the parks but shot 1900 in the parks and 2800 outside the park. Despite it being a far larger area you’d expect similar from similar hours wouldn’t you?

And I like how they say they considered every submission with an “open mind” bullshit we all know Who’s mind this is driven by and it’s not a considered one
