| 541096 | 2007-04-15 23:43:00 | What's wrong with that? I'm chinese and don't condone eating cat n dog. They would have probably been eating them for a long while before all this hippie crap. I just don't like the idea of eating man's 'best friend'. Guess that makes me a hippie eh? ;) Can't change the way I am, mates. I just care too much for animals. And I'm not a girl, either....:p |

Some local authorities have by-laws against or restricting their use but it is still only being "talked" about as regards a total ban. |

The babies bodies are not all wasted, the oil goes into high priced supplements the meat into pet food. Remove the market by not buying the products and the killing will stop. |

| 541101 | 2007-04-16 08:25:00 | I do wonder what happens to horses caught off the Desert Road. Pet food maybe? Gin traps for Opussums have been banned for years in New Zealand. what horses? ('scuse the jaffa) afaik (and foxy/godfather too) gin traps are not banned in nz, or atleast those yellow ones used by doc, the arc, probably several other regional councils, and the public. i'm pretty sure, however, those bear-style traps with the jaws are illegal seeing as they'll break the legs of any animal (or person) who stands on one. |

The majority of the culled horses get domesticated. afaik (and foxy/godfather too) gin traps are not banned in nz, or atleast those yellow ones used by doc, the arc, probably several other regional councils, and the public. i'm pretty sure, however, those bear-style traps with the jaws are illegal seeing as they'll break the legs of any animal (or person) who stands on one. Godfather is correct. I didn't realise that they could be prohibited by councils but there is a Gin Trap Bylaw (ccc.resultspage.com) whereby they are banned around Banks Peninsula. Not all councils prohibit them however so they are still very much in use in parts of the country, unfortunately. |
