If you don't understand the differences, perhaps less opinion would be appropriate... it is patently obvious that most don't understand the law..

New Zealand Crimes Act 1961-232. Look it up.
And in my eyes there is no difference in where you carry a loaded firearm in relation to this, a farm is someone's home and workplace. Would you feel safe with some muppet sneaking around and wondering am I going to catch a stray round anytime soon.
Illegal access is illegal access. Just because its a feral animal you can't legally take it from private property.
Less opinion would be appropriate.
