Good thread, very interesting.
The ARK, isnt that Kimdotcom's boat? Just imagine it, loaded to the gunwhales with possums and Green voters, setting sail for parts unknown!
Anyone ever made a blanket from skins? I wonder the cost of it ? Be pretty high no doubt but would look good.
Hi 'C404' I don't think Dotcom or the Greens are involved in the 'Ark Project' But stranger things have happened. What little snippets of information we have picked up tell us ...There is an old hulk laid up in the mangroves, somewhere up North. On it they have gathered possums, rats and various other creatures to restock our offshore island.
Motive is unclear.
Which is worse, ignorance or apathy...I don't know and don't care.
I move in circles where projects like 'The Ark' are likely to be discussed. Thames Landcare has heard very little.
I am probing now of course to find out what is going on.
Surely these sales of live possums are not destined for possum farms. All this has been tried before and been spectacularly unsuccessful.
The Tuhoe received a large Govt grant to trap and farm possums in 86 87 from memory. The large cage traps can probably still be found scattered around on ridges up the Whakatane River, or they could be a few years back.
"Spook I don't think the 'Ark Project is likely to feature on our television set in the near future.

Is that what you guys are talking about? I am not sure they want possums :-)
