Thread: Has 1080 by kill struck again

It's all gotten too much for McCrook; the greatest poisoner in NZ. He's chucked it in and done a runner. Perhaps the Feds have finally woken up to how much they've been scammed and how ineffective their millions of dollars of levies have really been; and kicked up a stink at last. Most of the justification for spending on 1080 has been via the bTB mantra, but we all know dammed well that most of the problem has come from and is still coming from the back of the trucks and perpetuated by piss poor testing regimes.

The report commissioned by NZ Treasury which was authored by the NZ Institute of Economic research as far back as 2000 made clear that the program justification was doubtful. The report is titled "Coughing Up For TB" so if you Google it you can read the truth for yourselves; then sit down and wonder why the thing was allowed to continue a further 15 years , and on--

Oh never mind, we can pick on Rock Wrens and waterways instead---

It's about time John Key got hold of Nathan Guy and Smith and banged their heads together. Maggie wouldn't know squat and should be sent back to her garden show.
Alternatives to using 1080 have always existed. It is the misappropriation, misdirection and misuse of public funds that has prevented the expansion to realise the potential of the trapping industry and the several by product utilisation industries that devolve from that which could see the job done without the deleterious side effects and with productive job creation and social benefits.
