VANDALS ACTIVE
PIGEONS SUFFER IN SOUTH WESTLAND. The Forest and Bird Protection Society continues to receive complaints that men of Public Works camps in South Westland are taking heavy toll of native pigeons. The Society has brought this matter under the' notice of the Hon R. Semple (Minister of Public Works) who has promised to make an investigation. It was stated at a meeting of the society's executive that the opening up of new roads into forested country always brought death to many native birds, especially pigeons. Vandalistic motorists in various districts of the North and South Islands had pitilessly shot large numbers of pigeons. For those poachers, the highways gave easy access to the forest for “pot-hunt-ing.”
