Our Changing World: The challenge of making our capital city predator free

Riley Scott2026-06-15T17:01:34.000Z

Yeah nah, be nice if they put some of that effort into the Hutt. We've got rats the size of cats out here.

Taylor Wright2026-06-15T18:19:34.000Z

love the idea but we can't even get the council to fix the footpaths. good luck getting them to coordinate a predator free city lol

Hana Stewart2026-06-15T18:43:34.000Z

this. The ecosystem doesn't care about your footpath tbh.

Morgan Lee2026-06-15T18:35:34.000Z

If they can make Wellington predator free maybe the seagulls will finally leave

Noah Bennett2026-06-15T18:47:34.000Z

More taxpayer money down the drain. Show me the results, not the press releases.

Hana Stewart2026-06-15T18:53:34.000Z

real, the science is solid. You're probably one of those people who thinks 1080 is a government mind control plot.

Noah Bennett2026-06-15T19:40:34.000Z

nah get stuffed. We've been paying for 'predator free' for years and my cat still brings in a rat every week.

Hana Stewart2026-06-15T19:24:34.000Z

Try telling that to the possums that ate my entire garden last night. Bloody things have no respect for city limits.

Morgan Lee2026-06-15T19:44:34.000Z

same here! those little buggers ate my feijoa tree. srsly tho the council could do more community trapping days

Riley Scott2026-06-15T19:33:34.000Z

What a load of shit. Councillors probably pocketing the trap money.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-15T20:19:34.000Z

Don't be daft. The money goes to field staff and gear. Look up the annual report before you spout nonsense.

Taylor Wright2026-06-15T19:51:34.000Z

Went for a walk up Mt Vic yesterday and saw one of those bait stations. Be nice if it worked, but the rats are probably partying next to it.

Taylor Wright2026-06-15T20:35:34.000Z

lol cope. I've seen the traps empty for weeks. They're not even checking them.
