MOA NO MORE

Michael from Trentham

Maori hunted the Moa into oblivion.
There were at keast several types of Moa some giant size towering well above humans - more than twice the he8ight, other Moa were not much bigger than Kiwi.
What I cannot understand why there seems no record of Maori keeping a Moa or two as pets.

Moa were quite harmless flightless birds..

I see other races in other parts of the world had .made pets from otherwise otherwise lethal animals from crocodiles to elephants from snakes to lions from eagles to emus.

Perhaps we would have moa still with us today if Maori who had dogs as pets, had looked to tame some moa.
