Strewth! Tell me you are kidding?!? Yes, I know extinction is sad (sometimes), but tell me you don't honestly want to develop a breeding programme for these beasts? Have a closer look at the name. (Hint: the devil might explain a lot.)
Wellington Zoo’s Simon Eyre says New Zealand wants to assist in protecting the vulnerable marsupial in any way it can.Sounds like a worthy plan. Take them out of Australia. Good idea. I support that 100%.
Problem is, though, I now live in New Zealand.
Earnest New Zealand zookeepers, I offer you a warning: if one of these ugly devils manages to escape - just one - fear for your pets, your ankles, and the future of New Zealand's meek, defenceless wildlife (what there is of it, anyway). It won't take one long to enjoy a large tucker. They’re aggressive, heartless, cold-blooded, bloody ugly (even before facial tumour) killers. They have very few redeeming features, other than that they are unique to a certain geographic location.
Goodbye cute, cuddly little Kiwi birds.

Do you know why the breeding programme isn't taking place on the other side of the Tasman where the wee devils would feel more at home?
An extremely good question! And one that I am still asking myself.
There are intensive breeding programme of the wee, adorable, give-one-to-the-kids-for-Christmas devils in various zoos around Australia. So why there is a need to extend it to NZ...... relaxed immigration policies now that Winston is quieter?
