Where do you get 40-80% from?

Doesn't reflect the average bykill and positive effects, and also doesn't reflect the fact that there is ongoing research to reduce the bykill, etc


Like, do you guys not get that DoC actually like native species and really want to help them, and are actively trying to.

I don't doubt most of them do, however they don't make the decisions.

yeah someone at the top really fucking hates kea and is secretly trying to poison them all

Or rather likes lining pockets more than a few kea

Allegations of corruption would be very serious and perhaps should be directed to the police if there's any real reason to suspect it

The shit is disguisting. Look at the first photos on page one of this thread and tell me that is ok. I'm sure you could pay/subsidise hunters to cull possum for a comparable price without the fallout to the birds, deer and livestock.

i think we need to ram 1080 down docs throat and see how they like it

shame on you

Valid. I guess time will tell. I know west coast hunters who have had many of their best spots dropped on and it's now silent bush. Hopefully DOC don't f*** it up and get it wrong. Here's hoping.

I'm off to build an all wooden skyscraper and to encourage those on the benefit to trap possums either side of the Southern Alps while they wait for their job to come to them.

The benefit. Eww. Don't even loosely reference another government department in the same thread. Playing with fire that is....as brilliant as your jest may be.

Good on Rick Cooper for the offer. I dont think DOC/AHB would be dumb enough to admint that they cocked up. The sooner they are put before the courts on this sort of crap the better in my book. Dont know how but its got to happen sooner rather than latter.

do they do 1080 drops where we go @Rushy
