Thread: Game Animal Council (GAC) to be scrapped by Conservation Minister?

If the argument for pre European settlement is to hold any water, then Trout and non native Pines would also be on the hit list.
Their thinking is warped in the extreme

Has already happened Pengy - Look at the de-nuding of the original acclimisation societies (now combined into Fish and Game that has become almost toothless) and the lack of changes to protect species in leglislation over the last 30 years in the face of increased pressures (irrigation, drought/flood protection, dirty dairying etc and lack of environmental safeguards) as evidence of this. Twig and tweets original pursuit was to rid NZ water ways of invasive sport and coarse fish and let natives come back (yeah right) even if it means wholesale killing of every fish in the waterway by poison.... - Their members pretty much controlled DOC and probably still do as I remember it.

This is Greens/Forrest&Bird/ DoC - standard playbook just applied to the Game animals - First strip away the legal protection, the Power of the interest groups, outlaw and vilify it and eradicate in a scorched earth type cleanse...

Standard playbook - when's the next Election?

Not sounding great for the likes of us is it?
This Sage creature should crawl back to where she first emerged. Hard to believe there is a twisted extremist legally f*****g up our outdoors eh.
