Mate im short handing on a phone. Point being it's a similar toxin that occurs naturally in food. And people aren't carking it left right and center.

There is no evidence that 1080 is entering the food chain in significant or dangerous amounts. There is real evidence suggesting that even small levels of toxin can be very detrimental to fetal development.
That's what I'm saying. Making bold emotionally driven unsubstantiated claims like the grafs do is pointless when there is data around that has real basis in fact and can be argued effectively. To be fair to them the grafs do include some relevent points but it's so interwoven with opinion, emotion and anecdotal evidence it is easily discredited.

The website you linked above is a good source of information but unfortunately has no study of their own and only offer a commentary using extracts from other studies. His major argument is there it enough long term scientific data to extrapolate real hypothesis. This isnt a definitive data point either way.

My intention wasn't to start a pissing contest, because like I said im in favour of phasing 1080 out for more specific controls. I'm just trying to encourage people to look at data from both sides of the argument and make a reasoned decision based on data and not a pr piece
