Thread: 1080 drops

Mr Smith is so proud to announce that they dropped 825 tonnes of green crap.

Because that's an ACHIEVEMENT he can be PROUD of !
Actually, pollies just love statistics
Just understand, statistics can mean anything you want them to.

Meh.

And they release all the crap about how good it's doing over the holiday period when no one's around to dispute their spin doctors dribble.

Don't know about everyone else, but I take anything a pollie says as b/s until proven correct.
I know it should be the other way around but meh, they are professional liars.
Sad state of affairs.

Just got confirmation that 100% of the endangered banded rock wren population in Kahurangi National Park can no longer be located since the 1080 aerial drop.
Just like you were told DoC but as always you know best you useless pack of pricks.
25 rock wren were being monitored by DoC and they haven't been able to locate them since the 1080 drop. It makes no mention of the rest of the population that they had identified (39 in total). They knew the location of them all. Surely they would have mentioned the others if they had found them alive. This isn't good enough, DoC. The birds were doing fine until you decided to drop poison on them. Why did you choose to use 1080 when your own protocol tells you to be very cautious where there are endangered birds?

Yeah mate. I believe you are correct but I would like to know the sources of the info or what official DoC statements have been made. it is only with definitive info that we can knock these f-wits and Maggie and smith off their perches.

Have just read the letter sent to land owners around Hunua preparing them for the 1080 drop by Auckland Super City spin doctors, will get a copy to put up.

From the "No to 1080 in NZ" site.

I put this whole 'dropping 1080 in areas that are known to have endangered bird in them' with a pro 1080 group and man, I got my head bitten off like no tomorrow.
I was called a troll and then some. All I was saying was that in say a valley where known birds are to be, why don't DIC etc 1080 the area around it, but trap the valley to prevent this from happening.
Again got head bitten off saying traps kill as many birds as poison.

You can't win with the pro 1080's

Traps kill as many birds as poison ?
But according to DOC 1080 doesn't kill birds ( small amount of sarcasm here )
Closed minds, and all that.

Some more from DOC,

Sounds like a credible source.

Any chance we could have this moved out of hunting and into a more appropriate area?
