PITILESS POACHERS OF PIGEONS.
In defiance of a law ineffectively administered in the field, pitiless poachers are taking heavy toll of beautiful native pigeons in various forests o f Auckland, Nelson, West Coast of the South Island, and Stewart Island. Complaints of this sneak- thieving of “protected” birds have been frequent for several years, but the offences seem to be more numerous than ever. It is very rarely that one reads of a prosecution. Why cannot the authorities make an effective
move to catch and punish the contemptible culprits?
