"Anonymous threats to release stoats on Codfish Island (where Kakapo
recently bred) and other NZ sancturay islands have been made by deer hunters
in revenge against plans by Dept of Conservation and Forest and Bird NZ to
eliminate introduced deer from sensitive areas."  ----snip

Now why doesn't that surprise me.  A few choice names for the people
concerned in those threats spring to mind but are not suitable for this
forum.

Thanks for the info Neville.   I'm glad I delved a little deeper into a
comment that I at first thought I must have misheard.

Cheers,
Karen Pearson.
