Thread: Submission regarding fish and game

It was Minister of Conservation Wilkinson who removed canadas from managed gamebird status, some say at the behest of Federated Farmers reacting against the F&G dirty dairying campaign. A real shame because a few open seasons on geese could have had a chance of better control in specific areas and allowed the retention of their protection as a managed gamebird. IMO DoC acted shamefully in their capacity under the conservation act overriding the wildlife act and F&G.
