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

NZ, oddly, hardly has any native mammals (at least large ones)…

I assume they must have some small ones, though. And probably the keas (crazy ground-dwelling parrots that eat fucken everything, even car window seals) would stick their heads in to investigate, if nothing else…

It certainly reeks of “unintended consequences” to me.

Like 1080 poison (for foxes, mostly) in Australia…
