| 801693 | 2009-08-16 20:36:00 | www.smh.com.au I am hoping someone starts a shooters party here it would have my vote. For some bizarre reason they have a lot of Asians and immigrants voting for the Shooters party in Australia. I thought the party would be a bunch of ute owning, beer swilling good ol boys. |

| 801695 | 2009-08-16 23:33:00 | Why?? We already have a hunting fraternity that can hunt in Forest Parks, National Parks and other areas like the local land controlled by the Wellington Regional Council, the catchment area, Pakuratahi Forest, the Akatarawas etc, and we have the NZDA. However like in the article, recreational hunters are nowhere near as effective in culling as the 'official' cullers. Quoting "One document shows that the Game Council issued 9000 hunting licences across the state between 2006 and 2007 and that 6000 feral animals were shot (0.5 pest animals per hunter per year). At the same time, one three-day cull by the Department of Environment and Climate Change resulted in 3000 feral pigs being culled, illustrating how much more effective departmental teams were than the Game Council in ridding the state of feral animals." It is the same here, of course hunters don't want to actually get rid of all feral / exotic pests altogether, they want to preserve them so that they can carry on enjoying killing them. Cullers employed by DOC and the regional council have a job to do and they get on and do it effectively. |

Get real Cic, hunters enjoy killing, any meat they carry back, if they get a kill, is a bonus, that is why they are called recreational hunters. Cullers may also enjoy killing, but they are doing a job, and many times more effectively than recreational hunters. Edit: you haven't answered the question as to why you want a shooters party here . |

| 801700 | 2009-08-17 00:25:00 | Because we could get more gun friendly laws and a change to self defence laws would be a good start. Shooting on DOC land in NZ should be a right not a privilege. |

| 801701 | 2009-08-17 00:40:00 | ............................................. Shooting on DOC land in NZ should be a right not a privilege. I'll ignore the first bit.. but your second sentence is not logical. I suppose you are complaining about obtaining a permit ? No problem there, I haven't heard before of any recreational hunters complaining about permits. It gives some degree of control over who is where and helps to prevent clowns shooting each other as well as getting returns on kill rate. |

We must assume you would deny mans instincts and wish to go with the do gooders thinking,you must think things through. |
