To be fair, a fair number of people that I know that live where Weka are consider them a pest and some kill them - although they generally only tell people they trust since it is a bit illegal.
They are not endangered (Conservation status: Not Threatened). I think Weka are awesome and I won't kill one: however I don't live near any so I don't have any reason to dislike em.
