Thread: Tahr foundation petition and court action

As for this

This is shameful. So these dicks dont want them because they are not indigenous and would prefer to kill and eat indigenous species of animals in NZ. I think it is time Ngai Tahu fucked off back to the North Island with an attitude like that.

Who has proof they were ‘illegally’ introduced?

And it’s not looking good for the honkies since we’re an introduced species...

WTF is wrong with some of these mouthy self opinionated types?? Grrrr..

because they would not cross Highway 6 to enter this forest.

Thanks Dave great video love your passion, comes across well! Many great points especially using the CCP comparision bang on! Also the reference about domestic livestock if F&B was so worried about tussock grasses then you gotta start with the sheep bet that go over well!! Ask a Canadian who hunts about NZ and they'll say "you know they have Himalayan Thar agh" it's not lost on the rest of the world if they think we're not watching they're dead wrong, shame on the Labour Party to put a Minister of another party into a portfolio thats she's in a complete conflict of interest of and to use her power to push her own agenda using tax dollars it's just wrong in everyway. Like it's been said "they don't care" but guess what WE DO and the fights never over!!

This was in reference to Snowgrass’s article he posted too. I re read my comment and realised it could be misinterpreted.


But the Project piece wasn’t that flash either. Good on you Dave for your effort that you have put in for us

Whats wrong with them? Either a lack of education on the subject or too long getting brain washed at university somewhere seems to be the common cause these days.

What would be an interesting stats is how many Maori compared to honkies go tahr hunting. My guess is not many, which is maybe why they want to get rid of them, because it doesnt affect them (and the fact honky introduced them).

Now if you had of been able to carry your rifle up the back window or on the back seat like the old days, you would have had that in the pot

Forest & Bird have just released this.

A BREAKING WIN FOR NATURE: The High Court has decided that all tahr, including bulls, must be removed from National Parks, and that DOC's work reducing the overall size of the tahr population doesn't need to be delayed.

Fake news, there is a article on stuff about it

Not according to stuff

Still not a win but hopefully a step in the right direction.

Merinos in Mt Cook National Park 2019 - DOC and F&B in denial that they are any? I saw a couple of years ago that Kiwi tourists had asked DOC Mt Cook what were sheep doing crossing the Mt Cook Highway between the airport and Hermitage? But tahr remain the only target?

Remember having a conversation with the owner of well known high country farm maybe 15yrs ago where he stated,, he was quite happy to see DOC come in and do search and destroy on tahr in the conservation land above his homestead. Same fella had a mob of several hundred merinos stripping(an I mean stripping out!!) out the upper reaches of that area in doc land......

Don't forget that Maori are an introduced species as well. How are they going to reconcile that fact with their beliefs?

There you have it in stereo and widescreen Technicolor: F&B's wet dream.

She will be gone in September anyway.
