PROTECTED BIRDS.
TROUT AND SALMON DESTROYED COMPLAINT BY ANGERS. (Special to the “Guardian.”) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. A strong complaint about the damage to trout and salmon caused by two protected birds—the white - fronted tern and the black-backed gull was expressed by the AVaimate delegate (Air S. Cox) at the conference of South Island Acclimatisation Societies yesterday. The complaint, based on a remit from the AVaimate Society, led the conference to pass a ,resolution that the Minister for Internal Affairs (the Hon. A\ r . E. Parry) should he informed of the damage the birds were causing, and that he should he asked to have data collected for investigation.
The remits from the AVaimate Society asked that the protection on the black-hacked gull and white-fronted tern be removed in the vicinity of livers in which the birds had become a menace to fish, and that the protection be wholly removed at a distance 10. miles inland.
