Pigeons Shot
Reports from North Auckland indicate that native pigeons, which are “protected,”, are frequently shot, often in State Forests, states “Forest and Bird.”.. The ease with which Cartridges for small bore rifles can be obtained contributes to the slaughter of these “protected” birds, which play an important part in Forest regeneration. Frequently dogs are taken into the bush by the shooters, and the dogs often catch and kill kiwis, which are also “protected.”
