basically 2 tests from different vets
then we need to research and answer any issues brought up frpm bloods
approach doc for their stance on releasing tortoise into general population
adress danger they may pose to native animals
adress the issue that they eat grass and may compete with sheep and rabbits
consult iwi
point out and rebutt any possible negatives
then outline why they should be released
chances of success greater if it comes from a group not individuals
also do individual submissions as well
go to tv if necessary to stir things along
has anyone talked to the auck zoo about this as well
