14 the oxamlner Monday March 1922 Deer farms multiply in NZ Written for By BILMM AUCKLAND li Deer are rapidly becoming the most profitable growth in dustry in New Zealand For years deer were con sidered national pest on one hand and major tourist at traction on the other Introduced from Europe in the 19th century as game animals deer thrived mightily in the New Zealand climate Herds muliplied in the forests but caused great damage to natural growth They ate the undergrowth causing rapid runoff of rainfall with consequent flooding of rivers and damage to farming areas Professional deer cullers were employed by the govern ment to work through forest areas killing off thousands Sportsmen were paid bounty for every deer killed There was no licence fee no limit no clos ed season And the government even gave sportsmen free ain munit ion for every deer killed llAl N0 RHSIRHTIONS Sportsmen came from many parts of the world for the unrestricted hunting available in New Zealand forests However New Zealand soon became aware of the commer cial value of deer There is keen demand in many countries for venison and in the Far East velvet from deer antlers is considered anaphrodisiac New skills developed among marksmen operating from helicopters and shooting dozens of deer herded out of forest pro tection arcasses were piled into nets and lifted by helicopters to treatment stations where the deer were quickly prepared for export The wholesale slaugh ter brought protests from humanitarians and en vironmentalists but since the deer were classed as pests and dangerous to the forests the ob jections did not prevail Indeed minor wars de veloped between rival helicopter operators There were charges of sabotage of machines and claims of pot shots being taken at other hunters rather than deer The government also had considered the idea of deer far ming Objections to commer cial operation of deer farms were that deer might escape and start new herds in forest areas causing renewed threats to forest growth DEMANDTOPSSlPPLY On the other hand some countries required veterinary examination of deer before slaughter not possible with deer killed in the wild The venison export trade had grown to level that new initiatives were needed to meet the de mand The government eventually approved the licensing of deer farms enclosed within fences high enough to eliminate the likelihood of escape Today deer farms are springing up in many parts of the country Deer farmers find that even allowing for the cost of fencing and other expenses these animals bring better returns
