Thread: Decades of 1080….before and after

My studied opinion is that had the hundreds of millions of dollars spent by DoC, AHB and regional councils on 1080 poison operations been invested EXPERTLY on ground based trapping ong with timely fully managed stock movement controls and reliable btb testing then we would have eliminated the agricultural threat of btb ma y years ago and achieved well managed wildlands biodiversity with virtually zero negative effects. The socio- economcic spinoffs to rural communities would also be considerable. It has been a costly excersise for NZ that such a narrow focus of opportunities was/were adopted by officialdom and it's hype.
