Thread: Tahr Update from Doc

She is a lying piece of shit. There is video out there of her stating she wants to exterminate them.

Tahr are large, herbivorous goat-like animals that feed primarily on alpine tussock grasslands and sub-alpine shrublands. As social animals which group together, tahr are recognised to have had widespread impact on native vegetation in alpine and sub-alpine areas, so control of their numbers is ecologically important.

Where is the evidence of widespread impact on native vegetation? I call bs on that one.
And bs on this as well

New Zealand alpine ecosystems evolved without mammalian herbivores, such as tahr. Consequently, many alpine plants have no defence mechanisms, such as toxins or spines, to discourage tahr from eating them. Some plant species, forming part of the tahr diet, are ranked as Threatened or At Risk by the New Zealand Threat Classification System. Large groups of tahr can transform tall tussocks and sub-alpine shrublands to grassy turf or bare ground.

Show me evidence that tahr have transformed tall tussocks and sub-alpine shrublands to grassy turf or bare ground. Oh wait, the kicker there is "can". nothing to say they "have".

Bullshit to her letter, she is being deliberately misleading and is misleading the public as well with her lies.
