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.

Yeah, right

Let us know if you change your mind!:thumbsup:

Be interesting to know the total cost of trying to eradicate possums over the years, how much has been spent on 1080 and if they will ever win ??
My guess is it would blow us away, they will never get rid of them at least not by poisoning, and in the end and unfortunately trying to save the species the possums effect although sad is fruitless in the end.

The real futures for fur are based on the catwalks of haute couture in Europe...

The cost to date would be a mind blowing figure and if they ever came close to winning the eradication of the possum, then some bunch of clowns (greenies) would cry for their protection and once again they would be a protected species.
