Thread: I hope dog owners knew about this beforehand

1080 laced sausages dropped to control ferel cats, I hope nobodys dog gets a scent of it.

Yay, another use for 1080.

How many ground feeding native birds were killed in the process?
I understand there are massive challenges controlling pest species in our difficult terrain but still think broadcasting a poison that is heavily governed if not banned outright in most of the world is not the way

So they catch wild cats put a collar on it and let it go again?

Same old story, the reality is we have feral cats blue ducks and kiwi and the cats are bloody cunning!
I have shot a few but thd reality is that with some bait strategically placed where we have seen them would be awesome.
We have stoat traps but doc is very intermittent in servicing so we are going to do it ourselves.
I liked the look of the kill trap that the cat was caught in on country calendar last weekend but not sure what brand it was.

those pics in the article that tanny colored moggy would be hard to spot in that environment .... and the one with the cat on a bird , thinking it was scavenging the carcass ? seen a cat carch a seagull on a rooftop and the bird took flight cat still attached untill it realised it was a bad idea and let go

if a cat killed and ate a parry would it be a duck filled fattypuss?

The NZ AutoTraps AT220 is a great trap, multi species and auto resetting, not cheap though.

If it works well, Im all for it. But..... Its no bloody good doing this type of thing if the core issue of where the feral cat population comes from. The domestic cat population. Let's face it, cats as a pet species, do way more harm than dogs. Mainly because we have some form of dog control. It's really time we look at ways to achieve that with pet cats. Probably the easiest is a registered breeders and neutering program.

The SA2 looks good.
Can anyone please tell me what gloves this guy might be is using when demonstrating the SA2 trap? I'm after cut proof gloves for emptying traps of pest carcasses and something tougher than nitrile / disposables. Any recommendations please?

Don't worry, just saw another of his videos where the gloves were identified: Esko razor x500

Killing of natives is the goal...

That way they can then gaslight people into believing that more 1080 drops are needed.

Means more taxpayers money siphoned off for them and the rest of the "conservation" gravy train...
