My neighbors daughter and son-inlaw own the Station boundering the Molesworth
He is up there now
Last time he was up there he watched them dart and collar Deer for the above
So will let you know what the story is when he returns end of week
The report hugely understates the number of dead deer seen by both helicopter pilots and the observers - Dont know why NZDA would allow that to be the case.
There is absolutely no trust between hunters and DOC/Ospri,and nor should there be given what has transpired.
On the flip side, sounds like there is a minimal attempt to monitor deer deaths and movements prior to the next round of 1080.
If required, it will allow Sage to state publicly that DOC are acting in "good faith".
So long story short, between 1700 and 1800 deer poisoned
Lots of ifs and buts and guesswork in that report. Then Ospri tell them to f off anyway.
Money well spent ?
Interesting that the toxicology report says test for brodi, yet it reports fluroacetate. I wonder if page 2 which isnt included records the presence of that.
Good science and an aparrently unbiased report.
I'm a part owner of the report. :) (it was funded through give-a-little)
Im very happy to see it published at last. if it does nothing else at least it has got the 1080 deer by-kill issue back into the press. DOC & Ospri will not to be uninfluenced by it even if they are reluctant to engage with NZDA.
Im not vehemently anti 1080 but this un-mitigated slaughter was a bridge too far.
Cindy and Nash will love it. No deer means no hunters, no hunters means no guns. no guns means NZ is so much safer (cough).
"we" using the royal "we" could take a leaf out of SAFE's play book. Get people (the "we" again) with cameras, phones, drones or what ever into the area of next drop and get video footage of deer suffering & dying a slow, painful and awful deaths. Then get that onto national TV.
You would be opposed to 1080 if the true situation was made available publicly. Try and find the press articles on the hundreds of poisoned dead animals that came down rivers on the West Coast after a big flood onto beaches or the case where the Oxford North Canterbury town water supply was contaminated after a drop on Mt Oxford and many residents were on tanker water for three weeks. The records have 'disappeared'
What happened to Winston Peters and his band wagon of less 1080 and trying to create more jobs and an industry out of our wild possum problem. fur and meat export. Is he too far up Cindy's ass he cant remember the right way to get back to the real world?
When I was a kid and the pot was boiling on the coal range, my mum used to say "stir it".
Now, when a pot is boiling on the electric range, the misses says "stir it".
So I figure, when the pot is boiling thanks to the clowns in government, why not stir it a little :D
Im over being grumpy at govt, so now I'll just take the piss out of the stupidity and have a laugh, what else can you do - legally.
:thumbsup:
And still the DoC , OSPRI, EPA, MPI, AHB, and Regional Council (read Gov't) cover-ups go on.
............and they always will because these outfits are (supposed to be) well organised and co-ordinated organisations. Fragmented groups of hunters up and down the country are not.
Yep.
Yep hunters are that way in a sense fragmented by their own agendas
Only till the true economic value of hunting on the economy in a region is realized politically, will reform ever happen!!
Unfortunately only the Yanks have it together on that front!!
NZ is a political plaything of the globalist financiers and the last thing they want to see happen is for our country to have true self governance and self sufficiency and independence, individually and as a nation.
Our politicians have been made aware of the economic worth of hunting repeatedly for decades. They blatantly ignore the fact. One can only assume they turn the blind eye deliberately, sadly. Some simply lead on the public and hunting groups to callously deceive later. You should know by now who these politicians are.
