Thread: 1080 drops

Just got confirmation that 100% of the endangered banded rock wren population in Kahurangi National Park can no longer be located since the 1080 aerial drop.
Just like you were told DoC but as always you know best you useless pack of pricks.
25 rock wren were being monitored by DoC and they haven't been able to locate them since the 1080 drop. It makes no mention of the rest of the population that they had identified (39 in total). They knew the location of them all. Surely they would have mentioned the others if they had found them alive. This isn't good enough, DoC. The birds were doing fine until you decided to drop poison on them. Why did you choose to use 1080 when your own protocol tells you to be very cautious where there are endangered birds?

Yeah mate. I believe you are correct but I would like to know the sources of the info or what official DoC statements have been made. it is only with definitive info that we can knock these f-wits and Maggie and smith off their perches.

Have just read the letter sent to land owners around Hunua preparing them for the 1080 drop by Auckland Super City spin doctors, will get a copy to put up.
