Problem with the water supplies one is every area is a water supply catchment in NZ, and the steeper the country the further out the baits have to be. Bounty isn't a full solution but the biggest objection is the lack of statistics, accountability and the politics of it (money removed from the pockets of a small number of individuals and spread out at a lesser amount to a larger number of people). We have to accept that this stopped being about best outcomes for the environment a long time ago.
Pest control in NZ is NOT JUST POSSUM. This is the biggest issue with 1080 - some of the biggest bird predators are not targetted by poison drops and until we get onto that aspect of it we just are not going to get to predator free anything.
