A goat-like animal, the Himalayan Tahr, has been introduced to thealpine areas of New Zealand. It is causing great damage to the alpinevegetation. The New Zealand National Parks people want to reduce thenumbers to 10000. The New Zealand hunting fraternity object to this.Anonymous letters were sent to various authorities threatening torelease possums back on to Kapati Island and stoats to Codfish Island inrevenge. There is no sign that the releases were carried out butconservationists were worried.


Cheers,
