[Advantages of Hunting in New Zealand]
When New Zealand's islands separated from the continental plate, mammals did not yet exist on Earth. As a result, New Zealand has no snakes, wolves, tigers, or other aggressive wild animals that might harm humans. There's no need to worry about being attacked or injured by wild beasts in the wilderness, making it an ideal destination for beginners to explore. It's extremely safe in the wild!
