Goes to show how screwed up the cops are if your a " person of interest" obviously they haven't travelled far in a car with you!

The grassy knoll! The book depository was a decoy, a red heron so to speak?

Oh, undoubtably a co-operative effort old chap

Possibly shot from a helicopter bucket stained green!

Don't forget the Kiwi's killed on Little barrier Island which DoC conveniently omitted to report until weeks later when a weed spraying crew found them.

Or the penguins poisoned with brodifacoum in the gulf.

Or the fallow herds at Wakatipu and the Blue Mountains

Or Zealandia poisoning the Karori with Derris dust to kill the brown trout (and everything else), with DoC's blessing.

Or the thousands of Weka and Ruru wiped out

Or the rat plagues that occur after 1080 drops

Or the imminent 1080drop by TB Free and DoC over the Whirinaki Forest park, where there are no farms.

Pollution of rivers with poisoned rotting carcasses

etc etc etc

Very witty, Maca...

From the email sent out to all NZDA members, Bill O'Leary has conceded that a Department of Conservation investigation will determine that the birds were killed by a member or members of the association.

Im reading from this, that the guilty party/s has already been man enough and admitted fault and unless Bill just bought a jumbo box of tin foil it's not saying DOC is going to push NZDA under the bus regardless.

oh yes and while were about it .lets not forget DOCs ownership and efforts building the so called viewing platform at cave creek on the
west coast. Puit together with 4"nails which led to 14people losing their lives as the bloody thing fell into the ravine!

Yes, I see what you mean kiwijames. however, I will reserve judgement until I know for sure NZDA hunters have admitted the killings. birds which have transmitters fitted and regularly get handled by humans get stressed and mortality is not uncommon as a result. At present the information available to us (the public) is far too vague to draw a proper conclusion.

In saying this; if it is properly established that NZDA persons DID kill those birds, then I will feel deep regrets for NZDA. But the loss of those birds is a sad thing for all NZ, regardless of cause.

Yes, sad for sure. There will be no winner from any outcome and I hope the people do not get vilified like in the ridiculous Cecil debacle.

If this mortality is the case, then have they or not confirmed whether the birds were shot or simply found dead? Would the noise of shotguns be enough to stress them out to a fatal extent? Autopsies? If this is the case then perhaps they will need to consider a more delicate approach to pukeko control...

Grass grubs laced with 1080?
