Thread: Radioactive Wild Boar in Sweden

Yeh as WillB said it is a very controversial subject over here, The bait used is either carrot or cereal pellets and mostly applied by helicopter. As the poison is sowin throughout the target areas it is often available for deer etc to eat thus the concern from hunters over here. Also it closes up a lot of area after a drop as there is about a 5-6 month no hunting timeframe imposed on those areas so that any uneaten poison has a chance to be rendered safe by the weather. Poison is laid for TB control, pest control for projects like "Bring back the Birds" as possums and rats and stoats are notorious at killing our native species.
As stated there is for and against for the use of 1080 but generally most people oppose it's use.
