Please help us to STOP THE USE OF 1080 POISON IN NZ by way of Court Action
West Coast
A Judge in a previous unsuccessful 1080 case advised us that if poisoners were breaching conditions of their Resource Consents then they could be pursued under the penal provisions of the Resource Consent Act.
So... We formed a kind of "1080 Police" - following and monitoring 1080 operations. We took affidavits from 23 witnesses, with over 400 breaches of Consents by DoC, Animal Health Board, and West Coast Regional Council.
We began a Society, the case was first filed in May 2012 and is now in the High Court.
OUR CASE IS STRONG BUT THE POWERS-THAT-BE ARE TRYING TO PREVENT IT BEING HEARD.
The Court has decreed that we we need to provide up front $25,000 as a "Security of Costs", to be retained if we win the case, forfeited to the opposition if we lose.
We have been battling unaided for 3 years now but now we need your help.
We are asking for donations of whatever you can afford to help keep the case alive.
However, any substantial donations ($500 or over) is refundable to you if and when we win the case by emailing your Give-a-little receipt to our secretary Kath Lane: wildsidebackpackers@gmail.com
If we get over $25,000 the excess will be used for incidental costs such as photocopying, court filing costs, and a donation for travel expenses to our excellent pro-Bono lawyer.
Te Whare o te Kaitiaki Ngahere is an Incorporated Society, formed in May 2010, with the sole purpose of holding the 1080 poisoners accountable in Court - the aim being a "Declaration" from the Judge - a first important step towards our ultimate goal of banning the use of this indiscriminate and cruel poison.
Te Whare o te Kaitiaki Ngahere is an Incorporated Society set up in 2010 with the sole aim of taking Court Action against 1080 poisoners who have time and time again breached the Resource Consent Act. Once heard in Court the aim is for the Judge to make a 'Declaration' - a first important step towards our ultimate goal of stopping 1080 in NZ
Join the Hikoi 12 July 2018
Just an update to let you know some of your help is going to help the Hikoi of a Poisoned Nation which we hope you are all following on Facebook.
Some of us have walked with the southern leg of the Hikoi (click on videos on Hikoi Facebook and you will see us there) and chairman of Te Whare Dan is now in Auckland busily handing out leaflets to boost support among the locals and get them out there to walk the Auckland Harbour Bridge this coming Sunday. Our good friend Emille needs support and we need a good showing here, with impending drops in many places now including the Hunua Ranges - Auckland's water supply.
Hope some of you can get out there and do some walking or at least share the Hikoi Facebook to as many people as you can and use #ban1080 and #hikoiofapoisonednation
