More insane policy out of NZ: "NZ plans to exterminate ALL rats by 2050" - BBC. Not insane in theory, but in practice, this will prove to be literal impossibility, and a complete junket for those involved (like foxes in Tasmania)... At this point, this is nothing more than a vanity project. - Kotaku In Action 2

That's Australia. New Zealand actually won the war against their indigenous giant flightless bird.

Sad Moa noises…

Yeah, they were all gone by the time whitey arrived…

Believe it or not, Tasmania used to have emus, too (hence there is a place called Emu Bay), but they were, apparently, nearly extinct already, when whitey got there…

Something something easy meat for the natives, something something… 🤷🏻‍♂️
