Description

An animal becomes a pest if it begins to cause considerable economic or environmental damage. Animal pests such as stoats, possums, deer, cats and mice were introduced to New Zealand causing the decline in number and sometimes the extinction of the native birds and animals. The government has had to spend millions of dollars to control these pests in New Zealand.
