I've written about my idea before, so I don't need to go over it again here, but I did want to include a copy of the handout I made:
Photos were taken from Prohunt.co.nz.Prohunt NZ Ltd is not associated with this project.
The images are used for visual reference only.
Just to prove that I'm not all about killing and guns, I've thrown in a couple pictures of the cutest little seal you ever did see. I took these in Kaikoura last week.
awwwwww

oh. my. god. are they cute or what? They are like ornaments atop a xmas tree.
Nice handouts! What program did you make them with? Glad the presentation went well.
I don't know what was up with that little guy. He was all alone on that rock. You can't see it in the photo, but he is right next to a walking path, it was about 10 feet down the other side of the rock into the water.
I used Pages to make the flier. The layout was part of a newsletter template. I made a Keynote presentation too. I'll try to export that in a format I can upload.
Awww, he is so cute. Good luck with the pitch. I watched a video that you are in over on Kat's blog. It looks like you are having the most amazing time ever!

Hey Dwayne, I love the seal pics, but I have a question.. are they going to kill the goats? Eradicating them sounds so terrible for those goats.. Or are they just going to find them, and ship them off somewhere else. just curious...

Hey Jill.
The goat eradication is essentially a cull, so they do kill the animals. Goats aren't native to New Zealand and they are destroying the native habitat and making it more suitible for other invasive species. It's a real concern for the environment, and the sentinel goat work is really helping to restore the natural ecosystem. The hardest part about getting support for this film has been because it does involve hunting, and a lot of people refuse to condone the killing of any animal, even one that is feral and damaging the land for endangered species. The Hunua Ranges is the one of the only mainland habitat of several rare plants and a bird called the kokako.
Personally, I'm not a vegan and I'm not anti-hunting so I can stand the removal of unwanted, wild goats. But I understand that not everyone feels the same way and I think that it is important to make the film so that it is presentable to a general audience.
