Gwyn Thurlow Talks Rural Crime & Poachers

[@malcolmeunson5543]

Obligation of being aware of location is on the visitor to the land. Also, imagine the response to an urban land owner if a person is roaming their land with a firearm…!

Know a farmer between paeroa and thames who discovered one of his beef animals shot. With only one back steak cut out of it.. left the rest to rot.. seen the pictures myself.. it is becoming more prevalent

Shooting a woman in the head killing her, in a DOC camping ground, then getting away with it. Thats rural crime.

..if you're a farmer, who comes across a couple of armed men at the back of the farm, you can do bugger all except quietly put some distance between yourself and the intruders..

Who are the intruders on private land without a firearms license

[@StoneWii]

They should open up parts of the Bush to let hunters in it would stop the bs but everyone knows only close friends of forest managers get private access.

Heard of police ,take a photo

[@geofflewis8599]

@@gordoncooke6785 ..sure, ''will you two armed men on my property stand still for a minutes while I take your photo and forward it to the cops to do nothing about.''.

In mid Canterbury we had “ illegal hunters” on our farm it’s a problem

[@honeybadger7002]

You should interview Dyson Bliss, he's ("allegedly") NZ's biggest and most successful poacher 🤣

[@basilwatson1]

Can we highlight WHO is doing it ? and I wouldn't be surprised if its the same people ,,,,, again
