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

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...

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.

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

Shit they look like quite the bit of kit!
Might go for something a bit cheaper to get on go!

If you want a VERY humaine and deadly kill trap..find some connibears. Do utube to see the set with bit of twine thing,bit of heavy cord about meter long with foot loop at one end . They work very well just in a run or fence line but could see baited they would be even deadlier. NOT ideal if have small dogs.they take no prisoners.

Plus one for the connibears, a very good trap!

Saw a demo of those yesterday. Certainly amazing tech talked about the pile of dead things underneath and what it might attract. Pigs was there answer. I recall trap lines in the urewera that if a pig clocked it you got nothing.

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
