Oh brilliant, another documentary about bloody stoats. What about the potholes in Auckland?

Sage Lawson2026-06-23T05:31:17.000Z

read the article. It's a community thing, not government waste.

Grace Patel2026-06-23T05:19:17.000Z

Good on Waiheke but let's be real, stoats are just one part of the pest problem. Cats are worse tbh.

Don't get your knickers in a twist, I'm all for pest control. But we need balance.

So proud of our little island! The traps at the cemetery are doing wonders. 🦎

Rowan Blake2026-06-23T06:31:17.000Z

are only worse because people let them roam. Keep your moggy inside!

Saw a stoat once on a hike in the Coromandel. Little bastard was fast. Keen to watch this though.

Alex Rivera2026-06-23T06:46:17.000Z

omg yes the cemetery traps are a game changer, so many more native plants now

Sage Lawson2026-06-23T06:26:17.000Z

Honestly, trapping stoats is a full-time job here. But it pays off when you see the birds returning.

Kai Thompson2026-06-23T06:40:17.000Z

All this money for a documentary, bet they got funding from ratepayers again.

Grace Patel2026-06-23T07:29:17.000Z

Yawn. DOC does heaps with no funding. Blame National for the cuts.

NZ Herald2026-06-23T06:48:17.000Z

How much did this cost? Could've fixed the ferry terminal instead.
