Thread: Has 1080 by kill struck again

Same area.

Weka populations are increasing iirc. Yes weka and 1080 exist? that's what your video shows. Studies have shown that weka aren't really featured in bykill

Snails are eaten by rats etc and a photo shell next to a 1080 pellet is a fun implication but meaningless. I see about a billion snail shells in the bush. Shall I take a photo of one next to a native bird and suggest we ban native birds?

What's the area? there might be bird count data to refer to

e: If someone felt the need to drop 1080 with all those traps around either the monitoring showed that the traps weren't doing the job (bad news for the "use trapping for control" theory) or hey maybe the trapping and 1080 have different target species...
