smidey Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Stuff doc most of them dont know what they are doing dont get me wrong doc is doing a good job with the natives but seriously making rainbow skinks as a pest is just stupid why kill an animal its not its fault it is a pest the law seems to make no sense now just keep it feel sorry for the little fellas doc needs to get onto doing somthing about cats and dogs! A well feed mogie will eat 17 lizards on average each night i think doc just needs to put a ban on cats being out and about at night and if caught they will be taken some were and kept and the Owner needs to pay a fine to get them back!and what about hedge hoges what about them do you have to kill them or so Thing? But they still make a poor inocent lizard a pest :evil: perhaps you could read your statement, think about it rationally then edit it to save yourself some embarrassment.

exoticboy Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 i would never want to kill any reptile especially lizards there awsome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I really don't care what DOC thinks, a lizard is a lizard and it is not the Rainbow Skinks' fault that they were introduced from Aussie. I could never kill one. I think you should keep them as pets because they are beautiful and fascinating to watch. Do they actually do any damage? I also think they have a major cuteness factor :love: perhaps you could read your statement, think about it rationally then edit it to save yourself some embarrassment. This makes no sense whatsoever herperjosh. Have you been hanging out with extra-terrestrials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insect Direct Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 theres a reason we kill possum's whether we like it or not. some things just need to be done. better off stairing clear of these skinks imo, simply not worth the trouble. If you really want to do something useful, get a permit for a native Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smidey Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 theres a reason we kill possum's whether we like it or not. some things just need to be done. if we want our native fauna to remain what it is the cute furry ones must be kept to a minimum. that is just how it is & it is the same with what ever these rainbow things are. they must be doing harm to natives in some way, DOC simply don't give classifications like that just for a reason to kill them or stop people having them as pets.

repto Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 that may well be,but in fact there is not much point closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. In this case the skinks are spread far and wide up and down the north Island,largely due to the presence of railway lines,they hop on catch a ride and hop off to start a new colony.
