Thread: Buller /Tasman biggest 1080 drop in history this spring

and the solution is???? this is the real kicker. Plenty of armchair pseudo science PHDs in biology/chemistry/philosophy/physics/economics/politics and yet, after how many years, why has there not been a better solution arrived at? or do we blame DOC/AHB for this failing as well? and don't come back with the tired old (and totally unbelievable) "1080 gravy train dribble either, or you've got you're 3 strikes and are straight to Ignorant Island.
How does a small country with a tiny GDP and vast tracts of public owned wilderness maintain its biodiversity plus support an agri business economy that creates the bulk of the revenue? See the vicious circle?
I doubt anyone would argue 1080 is anything more than a crude tool, but ist the only viable tool we have that can do the job no one else wants to do.
If you REALY want something to lose sleep over try looking at cadmium soil contamination across NZ, or the even more concerning water quality and water shortages occurring across NZ. North Canterbury just lost its fresh water fishing season due to contamination WTF and the Ashburton Council water consent debacle is madness in my eyes but i suppose these real issues don't remove a few deer from some chumps fav bush block so aren't anywhere near as relevant, plus theres no easy scapegoat here.
These are real problems we face in the short term, not the "1080 problem that wasn't".
