50/50 this has been in the works for a long time by many trust worthy people and companies well before Google. How Google got their dick in this? Who the hell knows. They also wanted to do the same in New Zealand for rats. They are invasive and have decimated the local bird population by eating eggs. It almost went ahead until some dumbfuck indigenous big chief was all like "nature finds a way" well now, birds are dead and rats are everywhere. Guess nature got fucking lost.
Yeah, nature's way is: the rats win. That's how we're here and the Neanderthals aren't.
Was this around the Waikaremoana area, by any chance?
No clue sorry. I haven't looked into it in some time.
