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.

Smith is an idiotic buffoon.

From the "No to 1080 in NZ" site.

Sounds like a credible source.

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

Perhaps the administrators could allocate a place where we can discuss this and related 1080 issues so we don't risk getting chucked out of the forum?

Thanks Woody I was being polite

like the trash?

Fair enough to be concerned about the effects if it became open slather on this nice forum; however, if the issue had its own spot and the boundaries were not crossed, there may be something constructive in it-- rather than shutting it out completely?
