CASE 7. Colonising Goats in Aotearoa New Zealand

Since being introduced by colonists for meat and dairy, goats have been an environmental problem in Aotearoa, disturbing delicate native forests. Now, goats exist both as a problematic feral population to be culled, and a potential for better, more sustainable dairy – if properly contained.

What is being missed when we only focus on either removing or containing goats? I am drawn to those more-than-human possibilities beyond these rigid approaches.
