I'm eco minded- and I though I've never been to NZ after reading about what it allowed to be hunted and the problems they cause I fully support it. Why not shoot a vermin and have some dinner? It's better than poisoning it and letting the carcass rot.
If these vermin are not eradicated/managed then the ecosystem of NZ may well collapse and many of the unique animals (birds esp.) would be lost. We (humans) brought them in, we should take care of the mess we made.
So let them hunt!
