Thread: Thar extermination

I've donated and signed the petition but feel it is only a stop gap measure. I can't lobby my local mp as he was the minister of conservation and supported 1080 and I believe he's passed his use by date. If you read what I earlier posted that was told to me by a non hunter you would think it's totally extreme and really not in any way a good idea. But if you look at the under lying message it has more meaning. It took me a while to work it out but this is my take on what was trying to be said. You can petition , protest , go to court but you will never win. You are fighting a battle where the enemy has set the rules. Doc put a stop to removing bird carcasses as no body no evidence. They openly admit to killing protected species but are never prosecuted. Their scientists agree with what they are doing but independent ones find very different results. In essence the rules and laws were written to protect themselves and give them the right to do what they want without accountability from the general public first and foremost. Just because they have to consult doesn't mean they have to listen or take on board anyone's opinions or concerns. It just draws the process out a little. We are trying to beat them on their ground by their rules and wonder why it doesn't work. We need to to find another way to fight on our terms and remove their home ground advantage. I'm not sure how to do this but we really need a few politicians(one isn't enough) form a major party on our side and some how make them commit very publicly often and loud ( and us to them) so they can't wiggle out when the push comes to shove and they need to step up. Then get the rules changed to a level playing field for the future. Just my 2 cents worth
