Kāpiti Coast District Council culls 107 Canada geese
More than 100 Canada geese have been killed in a cull organised by the Kāpiti Coast District Council.
A team of experienced pest control contractors and hunters shot 107 birds at Otaraua Park in Otaihanga.
The cull follows years of reluctance from the council to kill the birds, despite pressure from residents. A recent application of bird repellent Flock Off failed to have any effect
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
