Subject: Official Information request - Supporting evidence for 2016 DOC statement on kiwis being killed on public roadsides by dogs.

Dear Department of Conservation,

I am involved with a dog lovers group. I am interested in finding out statistics around the death of kiwi in Northland, so that we can develop strategies to minimise the risk of harm to kiwi, whilst also minimising harm to dogs and dog owners.

On 16 December, 2016, Mr Andrew Blanshard, Acting Operations Manager, Pewhairangi - Bay of Islands Department of Conservation, submitted to the Far North District Council’s consultation process on the dog control bylaw and policy.

In this document, it was stated that "Kiwi have been killed by dogs being walked on public roads when the dog finds a bird close to the roadside” (P4).

Would you please provide the supporting evidence for this statement.

Thanks,

Leonie Exel
The Bay of Islands Watchdogs
