Of interest one of the causes hinted at was the prevalent anti gun attitude and loathing of shooting close inhabited spaces ,citing an example of where shotgun pellets peppered a house and IIRC a.22round went through a window during a LG contractors attempt to cull some .

That reporter should be charged for heretical statements even mentioning big black guns-be still my beating heart -fetch me another gin please beatrice,theres a good lass!

reading between the lines one got the impression its a thinly veiled plea for the infamous green lollies to be released on the birds -god help us all .

F&G"not our problem since Nats Min of enviroment Kate Wilkinson changed their status to pests"

Recently in CHCH a mob were culled by use of lethal injection???????? bloody expensive option id say .Egg pricking has also been carried out .

if its anything like possums ,deer ,that chamios ,etcetcetc 0-scorecard will always read Animals 1humans 0

Well if you shot straighter, there'd be less of a problem....

Ya need to get out more and make a dent in the population.

control of introduced animals and birds has always been a contentious issue in NZ - some see Canadas as a winged marvel wonderous to see - some see them as a dirty great big feed scoffing pasture fouling flying rat - the fact is without any natural predation in NZ the numbers need to be controlled - lethal injection will probably apply to an egg pricking injection has been used for years - green lollies no I seriously doubt that - just to difficult to actually use on something like a canadian goose - one would need to get them taking some kind of preefeed first - just frought with problems - non target take would be a serious issue - my thoughts are with the farmers who have a flock of 300 land in their saved pasture - no get out and shoot - and besides they are not half bad eating - like hedgehogs mustelids cats possums rats and child biting dogs all need the bullet cure and we cannot be squeamish

I would interpret it as a lighthearted comment. Not many people just spew vitriol for no good reason.

I think one of the problems is that some still think they are protected and dont realise they are now same as a myna or magpie- can be shot anywhere any time with whatever - legal permission on property of course

For sure, I thought they were duck shooting season only.

Ah...that feels better, just been for a leak. Just abit of banter, with me kowing full well that you spend more than most people out there doing your bit. I'm fortunate that i don't need to jump through as many hoops, get different permits etc as you do to shoot my quota. Keep it up
