Better reading still. After sixty one years of aerial dropping these products on our forests (1080 and brodifacoum) they are in a much worse state than they would have been if nature was allowed to settle the problems.

I have wondered for a long time why the SPCA has not spoken out against poison. My concern with 1080 is purely selfish in that deer are killed in the process. DOC have alienated hunters buy not adding repellent to the pellets. I believe hunters are some of the most passionate conservationists in the country.
I believe that SPCA were afraid to go out on a limb before and openly challenge the Government. The pendulum has swung though and SPCA know their stance is well supported. I do prefer my food without the edition of aerial dropped Toxins as in documents below.
