Fact: Total public spending on possum control comes to over $43 million a year, and possums cost farmers about $40 million a year in economic losses. (Predator Free NZ) | Nui atu i te $43 miriona ia tau ka pau i te marea te whakamatua paihamu, ā, i te takiwā o te $40 miriona ia tau ngā moni ngaro a ngā kaimahi ahuwhenua nā ngā paihamu.

Idea: To control possums, we should consider using gene editing instead of 1080 poison or trapping. | Mō te patu paihamu, me whai whakaaro ki te mahi raweke ira, kaua te tāoke 1080, te tawhiti rānei.

Question: How do you feel about this idea? | He pēhea ki a koe tēnei take?
