Just a follow up from my email sent to The Project last night, this arrived in the inbox 5 minutes ago...
Hi David,
XXXXX passed on your message to me about the tahr story we did last night.
We're sorry to hear the hunting community is disappointed and frankly a little surprised, given that the story had far more time given to the hunters opinion than DoC - in fact we aired almost a full interview with a hunter and Kanoa went out of her way to speak about how beautiful and majestic the tahr were off the back of the piece.
But I do understand that visuals are important and we unfortunately did rely on archival footage from Newshub for the piece - we would love to take you up on your offer of shots of tahr for any stories we do in the future.
Thanks heaps for getting in touch and for such a generous offer, we really appreciate it.
I'll be sending them some more impressive visuals later today to refresh the library with.
