Arapawa goats
Sir, — Why does the Marlborough Sounds Maritime Parks Board allow burn-offs of the precious native forest on Arapawa Island? Why does the Parks Board allow farmers to run their domestic sheep and cattle in the precious native forest which they say the feral animals are destroying? Why does the Parks Board insist on using taxpayers’ money to bring in the Forest Service killers, when competent people who will aim at balancing the goat population correctly, have offered to do the job at their own expense? Why is the Parks Board, whose task is preservation of endangered species, so keen to wipe out a breed of goat which is extinct elsewhere in the world? —Yours, etc., I. RAMSAY. May 1, 1978.
