    These are Pete Lusk words below. Well done Pete.

    Today I decided to hand back an award I got from Forest & Bird. Its over their full-on support for 1080. I got this Old Blue Award 15 yrs ago for being a good conservationist but now I cant keep it. The reason: F&B is the main prop for TbFree and DOC's 1080 drops. The trigger for me to finally decide was DOC poisoning rock wren habitat in Kahurangi National Park with F&B's support. The population of rock wren is so tiny, probably less than 100 birds spread over 4 or 5 widely separated colonies. Now DOC is reporting that about half the monitored birds have disappeared. They're blaming a unseasonal snow, a very weak excuse. Anyway, the Westport News interviewed me this morning on my decision and mustve rung F&B for a comment. About 2pm I had a phone call from one of their chiefs, ecologist Kevin Hackwell. He tried to convince me for half an hour to change my mind. But I wont and Ill return my Old Blue when I go to Wellington tomorrow.
