    Forest and bird intend to take Doc to court to ensure the Tahr population is reduced to no more than 10000 as is the population limit in the Himalayan Tahr plan 1993.
    They are still saying the Tahr population is sitting around 35000 and therefore another 25000 Tahr need to be culled.
    This is in addition to the 17000 culled last year (12000 public land and 5000 private land according to some sources).
    No one really knows what the population currently is sitting at, so one would have thought there needs to be a scientific evaluation of the population and the effects on the environment.
    The other big factor is that the Tahr plan states there to be zero Tahr in Mount Cook national park and also Westland national park which includes alot of good Tahr country
    Forest and bird will end Tahr hunting in these areas if they are successful by their court action in ensuring the plan is strictly adhered to.

    Save our Tahr. They belong in the southern alps.
