Bing, you have one fairly large problem with your theories. Docs own research in conjunction with landcare showed 1080 in fact INCREASED rat numbers.
Now going by that knowledge.doc should have A: done more research B: admitted the failure and canned the poisoning. They did.neither.
As I type this in sitting I'm sitting in Haast, just a very few kms away from where they dropped 1080 TODAY in some flowery kiwi habit.....
Down around the Arawata and Waitoto.
Hi Wirehunt, I don't have a theory or a barrow to push which allows me to (if I choose to make the effort and survey and constantly asses the available creditable information) observe the relevance and issues surrounding 1080. This does not require an 'opinion' - just work a sense of critical analysis and some cynicism. It would be helpful to myself and others if you would provide links to creditable sources to support the statements you make re 1080.
No amount of research is enough, that is a given, and it never will be. As for what DOC should or should not have done - I'm unable to comment as I'm aware that I'm not currently privy all of the information and that I'm not sufficiently educated in the areas of expertise required to make those assessments.
What I do know is I'm off to the bush tomorrow to blood my new 243 on a fallow I've been eyeing up for the freezer.
