There is a significant legal element for the company and for the farmer - health and safety. Because money is changing hands, the farmer may become vulnerable to prosecution by police or health and safety if an accident happens to the consumer (paying hunter) or other private prosecution may be another avenue the farmer will not want to walk down. Ultimately, the scheme seems like another element of privatization of the NZ way of life for personal profit. I am sure hunting would be seen in a similar light as 'risk tourism', like walking into live volcanoes. And we know what is happening to everyone who was involved in that activity; their lives are going to be absolutely ruined by government witchhunting.
