Yup. Their special powers also let them poison the drinking water of West Coast towns.

"It's tragic for us but there have been much worse ... like people getting shot."

:gob: Oh, well, I guess "people" aren't an endangered species...

Poor bugger - but then if yer gonna go shooting a bird that is very similar to the one your trying to protect... in fading light... at 40 metres, well it was only a matter of time.

Lets hope they dont go little brown bunny shooting in the dead of night (God save our Kiwis)
