So DOC are allowed to blast native birds while they are on the ground.

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."

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)
