There have been reports of Pilchards dying and being washed up on the beaches around whangaparoa area. More disturbing is my chatting with Whale watch captain there have been quite e few Dolphins found dead in the same area over the past few weeks. There are people working to try and figure out whats going on.

IF ANYONE FINDS ANYTHING DEAD IN THE GULF PLEASE PICK IT UP AND GIVE ME A CALL. THERE IS A MARINE SCIENTIST AT AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY WHO WANTS IT FOR TESTING

BigDog has 100kg of the pillies in his freezer - must be a good starting point!

Will be out too, had taken note. However, I'll be only picking up something that will fit in a 12footer and lives in water.

Wait till the RSPCA get hold of that man!!
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish caught will we realise we can't eat money.

Ah you're a good man BA, a cuddle afterwards goes down well.

By the way it's Dolphins that are supposed to be anatomically the same, so I'm told, not Marlin.

Don't know if they are the only animals Levcat, I believe you can add pigs and humans to that list.
