Thread: 1080 question

and to add..... a few years ago after a drop in he pureora a certain well known DOC ranger was in harvesting meat for personal consumption.........do as i say not as i do.....i imagine it is a legal requirement for DOC to have the exclusion zone and period , its up to you whether or not to eat harvested meat......kinda agree with @7mmsaum tho if your that worried dont feed it to anyone ....personally i would eat it tho

If you decide that it is no good, what you could do is mince it and use it for Burley and tell your friends and workmates never to vote for the Green Party

So if it was 1080 would one just be moving the contamination from animal to fish?

I think that Strummer would have them caught and cracked on the head before they got to digest any burley.

But but but...what about those that were not caught?...I suppose not any different to the rats and possums poisoned in the bush and washed down the streams to the sea, I guess something eats them.

The amount of 1080 that is potentially in the deer carcase is low- below the lethal dose for deer. Diluting it over a large area and many fish would mean that the rate would be negligible and well below a rate harmful to fish
