I just hope it doesnt happen at all.....

So don't mention it then. Makes us all look like dicks.

Saw on Facebook that it is already started. But keep in mind it is the fountain of totally legit sources.

I received a reply from Sarah Dowie , basically national want to put a stop to the cull until doc has consulted with the hunting industry & recreational hunters , she also said ms sage must ensure the Tahr control plan 1993 is still fit for purpose . a lot has changed in the last 20 odd years perhaps they could look at the bigger picture and include deer & cham while they are at it !

Don’t mention Cham, they might be the last thing left to hunt at this rate.

They have been consulted with. The tahr foundation has been at the table months ago with them all but the have ignored all the recommendations and done what they wanted any way. You guys don’t want to see the photo of pro 1080 supporter Richie McCaw with Eugene Sage.
Trout and Salmon are next.

FFS Ethos you will have them all crying in thier beerzies now....the beloved Ritchie is less than perfect!!!!!!!!!

Haha what an unholy match up. He schmoozing for helicopter contracts, her showing the cool people she hangs out with. Both knowing their supporters think they are knobs for doing it but doing it anyway.
That’s gold.

He is just an ex rugby player, yet he gets held up as an icon worthy of adulation, could have a knighthood if he wanted to, but how many here, would even recognise the names Rewi Alley and Fred Hollows? They both did something worthwhile for humanity, the other just chased a ball about. Perfect? not even close!

Fred Hollow restored a lot of peoples sight if I recall correctly and his foundation is still at it

Fred Hollows......blind foundation......operations to remove cateracts in poor countries and Rewi Alley.....I should know but cant think of it yet...probably wake up at 2 am now.

Richie was a good to Kaikoura after the quake particularly in the rural area he’s a decent bloke, Jesus reincarnated he is not.

What you need to do is to flood the public domain with photos of dead Tahr, accompanied by a photo of the politician who ordered it.

Just look at the politicians who have resigned from office recently. What made them resign wasn’t what they did, it was the pressure they came under for what they did by it being made public.

I would bet that a very high proportion of the NZ public have never seen a Tahr - many probably wouldn’t know what one was, but that doesn’t mean they won’t be affected by photos of dead animals left to rot on the hillside. The reason this slaughter is going ahead is because most of the voting public are oblivious to the fact it is happening.

Anyone got photos???
