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

    Looks like Conservation Minister Eugenie Sage is going all out to stuff New Zealand hunting as fast as she can. Never have I felt such utter disgust for this lot in parliament at present.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Anyone really surprised though?
    When the GC are in conflict with DoC's 1080 and game animal management plans, who thought DoC/Govt would really play fairly?

    That sucks looks as if the minister is all for getting rid of our game animals any way it can and because the GAC questions the use of methods like 1080 it has to go. Just when we get a council that has our interest at heart the government is thinking of canning it …. we know who to vote for next time, and it won't be them.

    no ...not surprised .... any elected government and their underlings listening to lobby groups that have a different view of how things could be done to their own agenda is just pipe dreams .... now if poor little paddles wandered off into an auckland city council park for a night of hunting native birds and accidently gnawed on some discarded 1080 maybe ..... ...

    As usual - DOC bureaucrats protecting their jobs.
    And the Greens 'tail' wagging the composite Gov't.
    Where is NZ First (supposedly pro firearms and sportsmen/sports women)?
    The Greens agenda is to return NZ bush to pre-European occupation.
    The problem being that the Ecology of leaf browsers is gone (MOA for example), and deer/goats have filled that niche.
    Tussock land isn't being damaged by imported animals (numbers are too small), but uncontrolled sheep farming in the late 1800's/early 1900's did.
    The Fiordland environment isn't being destroyed by Wapiti, due to the excellent management practises of the FWF.
    The endangered list of NZ's native species is increasing, because the emphasis is on poisoning the environment, and therefore 'controlling/removing target feral species' - NOT.
    As usual, political agendas are more important than the will/knowledge of people who are waiting to be asked to help - hunters for example, and the impact out of date practises is having on the whole environment.
    After all, the Press/TV isn't interested in presenting a balanced, investigative opinion - except as a page filler - because balanced reporting doesn't sell papers/ increase viewer percentages.

    The feral species that need removing are located in central Wellington

    Not surprising. The small article in the latests NZ Hunter is also an interesting read. Kill them all, no herds of interest and bomb the country with 1080. Arrogance at its best.

    ........ ummmm the greens are leaf browsers arent they?....................
    shit just realised .... get rid of other browsers and they will have no competition for feed..... thus bringing on an apocolyptic breeding season of green party members...... forget the beech mast and the battle for the birds something much more terrifying is coming......

    I always maintained the biggest danger to the enviroment is well meaning mis-informed greenies who think they know more than anyone else. (Why else would they support a poison that kills native birds and wildlife being spread by helicopter over the countryside.) The one thing I have noticed is that everywhere I have been that has seen the green rain has been silent. No birds, no insects nothing. Just silence. It kills every creature indiscriminately.

    1080 appears kinder on the poisoners' consciences - like using Predator drones to kill at a great distance.

    That is, until they wake one morning at 1 am and really think about it.

    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

    This is stressing me out, feel pretty helpless. What is there that we can actually do?

    The frustrating thing is the amount of hunters we have in NZ with no bite/voice.

    We (hunters) for the most part seem to be quite emotive and quite rough around the edges. To try and pull all of the hunters together as a united front always seems to end in internal rows. A lot of us don't/can't put our words into constructive sentences and resort to name calling and insults. This is one reason why we fail to be heard. Just my thoughts on it anyway.
