Thread: Has 1080 by kill struck again

I wouldnt call it 1080 supporters as such. Sure there may be better ways to go about it but do you really think hearing about banning 1080 on the internet is fixing anything?

You give me some hard evidence and facts of another method for ridding our forest of pest I'll sign whatever needs signing and help push it (tell friends and stuff) but saying ban 1080 every 2 seconds on here/facebook is useless and annoying and you just look dumb.

Heres a strange idea, spend those 5mins it takes you to write your ban 1080 post each day into thinking of new ideas, if you all done that together in a large room (this forum) you may actually come up with a decent way to have 1080 stopped and replaced with a safer method that everyone can live with.

Thats easy. use the millions spent on 1080 to pay for a bounty on possum, stoats and wessals.

It has already been done many times if you care to look Toby

No I dont care. But seeing as you have all the ideas make them more public? Start bringing the threads up? Start letting these shit threads that are good for nothing die off and start making all these ideas known to everyone?

I don't care much for looking for these threads but I'd much rather see a thread with some good ideas be posted each bloody week over this dribble

I look forward to your next post that gets you guys no where except getting me dislike your 1080 crap even more... Almost like you're trying to make it harder for people like me to support you guys.

Great posts there Toby and Tussock.
Hell I'm as anti 1080 as the next guy, when I was at school I gave my Spare time and money to Martin Benstrum when he set up TANNZ.,
I just don't think crashing our sweet forum with these pointless 1080 threads helps anyone.

End of rant.

There no telling some people @Toby.
After being internationally surveyed as one of the least corrupt countries in the world there are still people who cannot imagine anything other than some Lee Child novel sculduggery with multi faceted government department plots and clandestine public money rorts to push 1080.
I too have yet to see a sensible alternative with proven large scale methodology to offer a real solution. Nationwide pest control on a budget is ugly for sure, but whats the options?

you can fool some of the people some of the time but you cant fool all of the people all of the time.

You can probably fool all the fools all the time though

I don't think it should be all over the forum either.
Maybe a dedicated section tho?
After all it affects all of us weather you believe the propaganda or not.

Toby, have you had all your favourite hunting areas 1080ed ?, if so my condolences & you might understand a little better why some people get a little bent out of shape about it all.

BTW I don't much like all the pro/anti 1080 arguments, but I care for 1080 even less...

Wow, theres an excellent argument against 1080. Fuck the birds, just don't kill my deersies?

it would be great if politics and religion weren't brought up here,, unfortunately the 1080 thing really is important for true hunters.We all accept that possums are a major problem in N.Z for farmers and the native forest ( whats left of it) but dropping expensive poisons year after year is it really the answer?? if it was so good why do we have to do it after so many years ?

I'm sure you all can read the title of this thread if 1080 doesn't worry your interest of our wildlife and protected species in NZ why bother reading the thread in the first place?
