They have been targeting deer and pigs for a few years now and you in dream land if you think its just a by kill trying to get rid of rats etc. Some guy I was talking to recently was once involved with the posion drops, he said they was 1080 and enhanced 1080. The enhanced 1080 as he called it was used for pigs and deer where they wanted to reduce numbers more than just dropping standard 1080.
That's what he said anyway and from what ive seen in the bush, esp with pigs its clear it knocking them overall far better than 10 years ago so they certainly target deer and pigs, have no doubt

They better start clearing out the cows, pigs chickens and any other so called non native species. Then replant all the swamp land, plant the trees that were felled for timber at the tun of the centry, the list would be extensive. Some one has to be making a lot of money from 1080 drops as we know its banned in many other countries and they arnt even classed a s clean and green like NZ

So woody, is there any report of TB close to that park they are going to 1080?

It's all about getting TB free exports. They'll probably sell our land to the Chinese for $10/hectare more if it's it TB free.

it's $25 extra per hectare, don't forget the snake piggot and the
clutching grasping weasel brigade at tasman extermination council, they'll all be demanding their cut too
