Thread: 1080- ospri 2017

Plenty of Kiwi killed by DoC's other favourite poison Brodifacoum (Talon) commonly affectionately called "brodi" by the poisoners. THere were kiwi kiled by this on Little Barier island and other places. Well suppressed info.

I notice in EPRO yard the past few days they have heavy plastic covers over their yard . These are covered in 1080 aits geting sprayed dark green with their much vaunted "der repellant".

I also notice on the OSPRI / AHB / TBFree DoC proposed 1080 poison areas propaganda sheets that the very large area scheduled south of the KAIPO IN THE KAIMANAWA RHA is claimed to have Tb infected possums in farmlands "close by".

Bullshit. There are no farmlands close by and the "private lands between other 1080'd blocks ,this Kaipo Sth block , and distant farms, is not being poisoned at all! Think about it.

On Public land administered by DoC, DoC has the option of refusing permisions to poison or to instigate alternative possum control measures such as trapping. DoC refused to meet me last year to discuss the trapping options for the Northern areas of the RHA and I consider IMO that these OSPRI drops are in some cases just a sop to subsidise DoC's anti deer objectives in this RHA.
