John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 21 October 1923:<br> LOCAL AND GENERAL<br>…<br> A protest was recently made by the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Manawatu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Manawatu</span></a> Philosophical Society against the further planting of heather in the <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Tongariro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Tongariro</span></a> National Park and also in connection with the proposed importation of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/grouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grouse</span></a> for liberation in this reserve. In a letter to the New Zealand Institute… they strongly protested against the planting of <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/heather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>heather</span></a> in the reserve, and offered any possible assistance to prevent a continuance of the practice. The society felt that the Park should be of a purely New Zealand character, and that no <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/exotics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exotics</span></a> should be introduced into it. They further resented the importation of grouse for liberation in the reserve, or any attempt to make the beauty spot a game preserve for individuals. A reply has now been received from the New Zealand Institute stating that it is in full accord with the views of the society…. Further, it had been decided by the National Park Board, the controlling body, that no further heather seeds or grouse be imported.…<br><a href="https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/EP19241021.2.38" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/news</span><span class="invisible">papers/EP19241021.2.38</span></a></p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OnThisDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnThisDay</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/OTD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OTD</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/PapersPast" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PapersPast</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NationalParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NationalParks</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Parks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Parks</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/IntroducedSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IntroducedSpecies</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/NewZealand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewZealand</span></a></p>

C.<p>So you have to watch rabbits a little closer for problems. By the time you actually see that they're "a little <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/sick" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sick</span></a>", they may in fact be quite sick indeed.
