They are a pest and people are to kill them because they chew there way though all the shoots fruit berries and leaves and they are omnivores they have a wide range of food such as leaves, bird, eggs, chicks and insects. They are also nocturnal so you don't see them in the day.

Waitangi Day

They are carrying this banner because of the treaty of Waitangi. They are protesting because some may have disrespected and violated it. Or they feel strong and they think people need reminding about it. The Treaty of Waitangi was made in 1840 and 40 maori chiefs signed it. In the treaty it said that the crown will not steal there land.
