1 Response to NZFFA Survey – Interim Results

  1. Dr. Charlie Baycroft says:

    What are we paying for?
    I have purchased F&G licenses for decades in the belief that this helped to conserve and protect the fish and game for mine and future generations to pursue and enjoy.

    I stared to wonder when I noticed the lack of opposition by F&G to the pollution of the ecosystem with 1080 and other toxic chemicals and the Predator Free Agenda to eradicate the introduced species we hunt and fish for.

    Why, I wondered, am I paying to support an organization that is unwilling to vigorously oppose the destruction of the species that it is supposed to conserve and protect?

    The alternative might rationally be to become a self-appointed volunteer who is graciously helping DOC and whoever really controls our government to achieve their Predator Free ambitions.

    Maybe we should all be doping this?

    Perhaps they should even be paying US for the efforts on their behalf.

    Now I hear the people in F&G saying that if they do not co-operate the government will make them.

    In any event, the end result is going to be the same because F&G will no longer function as an advocate and protector of our customary rights to hunt and fish.

    If this government takeover goes ahead, I do no0t see any point in continuing to pay license fees to F&G for not doing what they are supposed to be doing.

    Perhaps some people are more concerned with keeping their jobs and incomes than doing what we are paying them to do?
