Thread: Molesworth 1080 drop delayed

There does exist in certain plants in Australia and Africa a compound named potassium fluoroacetate which has a very bitter taste and has evolved as a protection from browsing animals. This also occurs in tea in extremely minute quantities. I can well remember the noisey spokesman for Twig and Tweet expousing to school children that 1080 breaks down to harmless salt and vinegar. This is the sort of crap talk used to denigrate people like the Grafs and others who are at least providing a far more practical view of actual events than either DoC or Twig and Tweet or the government has ever done with regard to the effects of 1080. Obviously the Grafs (and me). know a darned sight more about the science behind 1080 than you do.

It's a good thing we have have woody and the graf boys supplying us all with very accurate unbiased information.....
