proposed Tahr cull

 

Dear Department of Conservation,

 

I am making this OIA information request to obtain all correspondence
between DOC and the Minister of conservation Eugenie Sage MP in regards to
the proposed cull of our valuable resource of Himalayan Tahr and the
impact on tourism, guiding and both recreational and commercial hunting
all without the required consultation with recreational hunters and
hunting associations as per the 1993 HTCP act. Also the full details on
how population numbers were obtained, what the percentage of variation is
possible on those numbers and the tourism, recreational and commercial
hunting potential revenue loss the country will suffer with the very real
possibility of the loss of Tahr as a huntable resource.

 

Yours faithfully,
