Dodgy greenie “research”:

‘Mice take over island in months
Researchers are shocked at the speed with which mice over-ran an island in the Hauraki Gulf after just two were released in a controlled trial.
In five months the pair triggered a population of nearly 70 – demonstrating the danger pests can pose to endangered native species on our predator-free island sanctuaries.
(University of Auckland researcher) Ms Nathan said the boom on the island – a scenic reserve where there were no threatened species considered at risk from the mice – was also what could be expected with other pests such as rats, ferrets and stoats…’
70 mice hardly constitute a “takeover”. And there were three mice, not two. Also, the breeding habits and diets of rats, ferrets and stoats are not the same as those of mice. Perhaps Ms Nathan needs to study basic biology. And take note of THIS.
