The intentional buggering-up the environment by this goose has resulted in a fine he'll have to pay, but the damage to the dairy industry's image is far greater. Hot on the heels of the revelation that Tasman dairy farmers were misrepresenting data around fencing off their waterways, this idiotic act by the Canterbury dairy farmer, which has resulted in sullying the 'flagship' efforts by the Government, Fonterra and Ngai Tahu, to repair the damage done to Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora, will further stain the copybook of the dairy industry which needs to convince the public that its activities are safe for the environment. This latest blot proves that it is not.
