Well, the Maori's liked hunting and eating Moa's.
Haast Eagle then had no tucker. He died out. Most lime / calcium fertilizer for the early settlers came from the vast piles of moa bones near Waitaki river mouth.
I like hunting and eating introduced game animals, fish and birds. Therefore I don't like chemicals that hurt these.
I don't want to end up subsisting on processed krill and insects either, for that matter. Leave that sort of tucker to the PC'ers and the Twig and Tweet brigade I reckon.
DoC and councils would do better to be working at enhancing game animal habitats than some of their other wasteful activities. eg, leaving blown down Rimu forests / trees to rot instead of logging salvaging them. And- Perhaps the dead mass stranded pilot whales could have been salvaged and rendered for pet food and oil instead of being left to rot ffs!
