    bykill of non-target species is significantly smaller than the impact on target pest species, net positive effect

    So if it kills 40-80 percent of kea each drop and they are very slow breeders and rats mice stoats ferrits possum are much faster breeders how can there ever be a net gain for the kea?

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Oh god I've walked into a 1080 argument in the year 2014 what the fuck is wrong with me

    Where do you get 40-80% from?

    Since 2008, 155 kea have been monitored through ten 1080 operations with 20 (12.9%) recorded fatalities.

    Recent research at Okarito showed that following the 1080 pest control operation in 2011 kea nesting success in the treated area increased from 51% to 100%. Nesting success of 38% was recorded in a nearby untreated area. The following year 69% of nests in the treated area succeeded, compared to 1% in the untreated area. The Kea Conservation Trust is carrying out similar nest monitoring at Otira.

    Doesn't reflect the average bykill and positive effects, and also doesn't reflect the fact that there is ongoing research to reduce the bykill, etc


    Like, do you guys not get that DoC actually like native species and really want to help them, and are actively trying to.
