Thread: Tahr foundation petition and court action

Duh, it’s the 19, not 17 of July.

Any updates on today?

No news but the video been posted from camera man dave on red stag hunters club is worth a watch. Someone more tech might be able to put up a link. I know Dave is on here but can't think of his user name.
Very well spoken Dave. thank you

Shame we don’t have a update , they were in court at 10.00am

Hopefully it all went well, really hanging out for the result. Maybe even to hear how they think it went

Decision comes out Friday. Just gunna have to wait and see. I wouldnt be getting my hopes up.

No I dont. It is just an opinion and a feeling I have. We should have a result or more info on Friday.
Sorry, I just dont trust the courts or the government to do anything right these days.
Hopefully we have got a decent judge in this instance and I am wrong.

I seen that. He presented very well and was spot on. I actually met the guy and the crew a month or so ago before they and I flew in the hills. Weather was taking a while to clear. Had no idea who that crowd was. Thought they were just probing me for info so I avoided them like the plague

We were on the main divide last week. Saw a few tahr but the lack of nannies and wee ones was blatantly obvious. I wont quote exact numbers as there are others with intentions different to ours who read this forum, but there was a healthy and sustainable population of bulls and I saw 6 nannies for the entire week..

My feeling is that we may get a bit of a win with the HTCP but are going to be shit out of luck in the national parks.

Well lets all be optimistic at least the hunting community have banded together and are trying to do something about it , regardless of outcome I think we the Public are doing our best and we will keep fighting for all our Game Animals now and in the future for the next Generation of Hunters

I agree.

I did hear a tidbit from the case and it is hearsay for now. But when presented to doc that businesses will suffer as a result of the cull they said "We don't care"

If this is proven true then we know what type of society they and the government want. It's fuckin scary.

So next would be to get a petition to get rid of eugenie sage from parliament, surely 50000 tahr supporters would sign that. Just to get rid of her

If this is true it’s a sad state of affairs when “we don’t care” is an appropriate defence in court, kind of like when you tell one of your kids off and they say “but she did it”.
As someone who has only found a real passion for tahr this year it would disappointing if this goes through. The introduced species defence is such bullshit they have been here 116 years. They are and should be forever part of our landscape
