Word on the street is a local business feeds the chickens (till the older ones disappear) which brings the rats

Apparently it is a mega mast year....Thats amazing. It coincides with the frequency of Gun City winter sales......

.It was mega mast year last year, and from memory another one the year before that. Every year the mast and rodents get worse. and every year they dump more 1080 to fight it. Have they considered that the rats and rodents bounce back worse every year BECAUSE they are dumping bigger volumes of 1080. SO who is betting that NEXT year will be an even bigger mast year, because this year they are going all out and are going to use more 1080 that ever before????

Simple, Possums eat the Beech buds and stress the trees, poison the Possums and you get more masting as trees recover same with Rata flowering. I have not seen big masting anywhere, despite reports for several years. You know when it is real because of the mouse fed trout. The Beech trees flower in October - did anyone see yellow or red flowering trees last spring ??

Need a few of these

I've never eaten a rat before, but I'm actually really keen on giving it a go. Might be a good way to help keep numbers down...

If they are as big as the ones they were telling us about in that "feed the chickens" town up north, there could be quite a bit of meat on them.....and potentially quite lean meat.

I've eaten quite a bit of Pussy in my day, some had a strong flavour like Kina but mostly good, and lets be honest they are not the most attractive of meals - so I imagine that Rats being part of the same food chain will surprise you. But I wouldn't start with one's trapped round an offal pit.

Bullshit political agenda makes me sick to my stomach the population is fed this shit. To make up for dumping tons of 1080 everywhere

I can,t believe this environment destroying highly toxic agent is allowed anywhere on this little planet, in this enlightened age. Thankfully, most sane governments of the world have banned the use of this very cruel poison. Where are all the animal welfare groups in this animal holocaust. Saddens me when I am back home in the bush (nz) and I don,t hear the birds like we did when I was a boy. No it,s not a loss of hearing. Most of the shiny arses that condone and enforce the use of this inhumane agent have probably never seen a once healthy animal suddenly lose it,s mind with pain and fear and die an agonising death. Shame shame shame on the powers that be for allowing the continued use of this disgusting method of ""pest control"". This pic is from our local free rag. Another bureaucratic stuff up.

Maybe Jacinda cam become the pied piper and solve the rat problem

Well if She walked into the sea and never came back it certainly would be a good start.

Bullshit it is, unfortunately the mobs of sheep that make up most of the population just baaa along with that bullshit and shove their heads up their arses.
