New Zealand Moves to Protect Great Whites
- "These majestic animals occur naturally in low numbers and, without protection, could be pushed to the brink of extinction... The Wildlife Act provides a strong deterrent against targeting great whites with a NZ$250,000 (US$172,000) fine and up to six months imprisonment as a maximum penalty." - quote from New Zealand Conservation Minister Chris Carter; quote appears in this article.
