New Zealand plans to exterminate every last rat, mustelid and possum to save native birds. The government expects the task to be completed by 2050.
I want native New Zealand birds to succeed but this is very clearly a pipedream goal.
All we have to do is convince “alternative medicine” practitioners that rat tails from NZ cure baldness and make your dick grow. They’ll be as extinct as the white rhino in less than a decade.
But common animals provide no super powers when you kill and eat them!
Hey but rats and mustelids and possums are exotic to New Zealand!
Nice theory, but when populations start to run low I guarantee these fuckers will just reintroduce them. We’re not talking about people with a lot of scruples here.
