WILDLIFE CONTROL
OPPOSITION TO IMPROVEMENTS. New Zealand is only one of many countries where the advocates of intelligent management of wild life are opposed by various sectional interests. For example, here is some terse comment of Tony Lascelles in “Nature Magazine,” which applies as well to New Zealand as to Canada and the United States of America:— "One may justly criticise the three governments of the prairie provinces, of Canada for permitting an organisation of laymen, untutored in the art of economic biology, to interfere with the management of their affairs in the wildlife field. One may question their unconcern regarding the dissemination of propaganda subversive to the ideals of scientific conservation, including an unwarranted demand for intensive 'vermin’ control that has no place in the agenda of any constructive conservation programme. And what applies to the three governments of the prairie provinces of Canada equally applies to certain local governments in the United States.”
