Jason Herrick: Federated Farmers Southland President on the call for locals to boycott Fish & Game

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

A call to action from Federated Farmers Southland for locals to boycott Fish & Game.

It wants members to block anglers from their land by removing access signs, replacing them with an orange ribbon.

It follows a court decision requiring many of the region's farmers to gain a resource consent to lawfully operate.

Fed Farmers Southland President Jason Herrick says they're fed up with Fish & Game's anti-farming rhetoric.

He told Mike Hosking that it’s been an ongoing process with Fish & Game pushing back against everything they’re doing, and this is the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Herrick says that in their opinion, the court decision being made by one person, is not democratic.
