To whom it may concern. (Phil McKernon) I wasn't in the swan shoot but I know friends and family that attended. I love animals and the land.
One day out of 365. 130 swans where shot out of 4000 or more. The harm and the destruction the Swans cause in Katikati and Blue Gum Bay far out weighs the need for this one day of culling.
Why would you even complain about this Phil? I'm not into the habit of complaining and writing letters to newspapers but you have burst my bubble.
Think about the outcome and the future of our harbour and maybe you will rethink about your opinion about this matter.

Sarah Avey, Katikati.
