But that's just it isint it?
No where else in the world do you have a daily risk of poisoning your pets and livestock.
I shouldn't have to muzzle my dog from poison or the after effects, period.

It's not my point. You can believe everything you read if you want.
They said agent orange was harmless once, again backed by numerous studies. That turned out great.
I am talking about the unknown 20-30yrs from now.
Yes 1080 has been around for ages.
But it has never been used as much and in quantaties it has been recently.
Yeah I eat bacon but it's my choice, the government doesn't force me too [emoji16]

I have offen wondered why the SPCA has not until now come out against 1080, as they are Hypocrites if they only want to protect cute animals. I’m not a fan of 1080 because it kills deer, I’m not sure I care how a rat dies but would prefer a fast kill alternative to poison. I don’t think my beliefs align with them and I doubt they will ever be on side with hunters. It’s just convenient for some that they have come out against 1080 recently.
We must seperate our, as in human cruelty from nature’s way. Mice eating a birds alive, parasites, fly strike, orca pulling seals apart.
We do have a responsibility to protect NZ flora and fauna, as we introduced pests, how we do that is not easily answered.
So you're a sheep?
You probably don't live in an area like I do. 10 different catchments can get the green rain at any one time but it all eventually goes past my and many others houses and onto our beach.
It is a constant daily threat.

Im 70 for fucks sake. I didn't just come down yesterday. I make my own decisions based on my own experience and observations. Like farming 3000 acres on the east coast for 20 years when there were 350 farms in NZ with TB, including our own. Like trapping and hunting for a living. Deer capture and deer farming. Volunteer conservation. Spending a lifetime in the trees. Don't you bloody call me a sheep.
Well well well.. it used to be that I was labelled a troublemaker on this here forum, a grumpy, antagonist prick with no respect for anyones opinion but my own...
Looks whos sitting quietly in the corner with a halo above his head and cake smeared across his grinning face now
Maca49 isdead right. The alternatives have been available longer than 1080 poison but they dont kill every other game species do they! Trapping is viable but anethema to the fanatical agenda to kill all introduced wild fish birds and game.
I'm 73 and regard the mass use of 1080 poison as a total and largely irrational affront our NZ economy, to my forbears, my environment and my values.
