and a disgrace in a country that is finally starting to take note of potential pollutants spread on the land and indirectly into the water ways.
No doubt the companies who stand to benefit from the use of 1080 will come up with ways to justify the continuing millions spent by the tax payer
won the control of the ingrained furry little pest.
What say you??

I never seen the news item, so tell me what are they promoting, fur or skin? The skin prices have taken a tumble lately and fur is not hitting any magic numbers.
