Thread: Has 1080 by kill struck again

Well, here's a thought for y'all to ponder.

IMO.

The spread / application rate that the AHB / TB Free NZ and DoC commonly use places a lethal bait about every ten paces square. (1 bait is enough to kill 3 possums or about 20 dogs and a very large number of insectivorous birds)

No way is there a "pest" every ten paces in our forests, and certainly not in any of our waterways or drinking water supplies.

The intensity and complete coverage of our lands with this type of lethal poison in relation to the actual land occupied by, the number and the spread of so-called "pest" animals beggars rational and reasonable assumptions as to the intended "well-being outcomes" to our lands. Overkill potential is obscenely high. Protected (like kea)and desirable non protected species (like children, birds and dogs) are vulnerable because the poison AND the application method are not exclusively target specific.

You must ask yourselves this very serious question;-In light of the mass broadcasting of deadly poison in a non target specific way;-What and where is the actual main target of the poisoning; is it the so-called "pests" or is it your country, your water and YOUR environment?

The truth and the reality IS that the poison is by it's very concentration and spread, affecting ALL, not just a few within the environment and is a staggeringly irresponsible and criminal affront to man and nature.

There is no insuperable obstacle standing in the way of trapping-- except irrationality within government and the selfish creation and sustaining of inappropriate misdirected and inefficient bureaucracies.
