Thread: 1080 KILLING FISH

It's the same old head banging bollox over and over.
Prove a less toxic, lower impact method that NZ can afford and I'll stand behind you 100%.[/QUOTE]

I'm really keen to understand why the ARC that runs the operations for the Waitakere Ranges park up here uses a completely different poison to DOC????

I understand they use Brodificoum in bait stations, Timms traps and pest controllers and they seem to have increased the number of desired Birdlife under their watch in conjunction with DOC in ARK in the Park. Whereas DOC seems to have lost its imagination and just bulk drops on areas to lay waste to them in a slash and burn mentality.

I don't get it... DOC are meant to be the caretakers but 200+ years of trying that approach has only proved one thing that mother nature will bounce back - its just the things we don't want seem to procreate and thrive back the best. Talk about screwing the scrum in their favor....
