Mr Browning, time for a few lessons in pest control.
Rats when broadcast poisoned go into a breeding frenzy. They think the species is under threat and really go for it. When they are taken down slowly this doesn't happen.
If the numbers are kept really low even a super mast on steroids won't matter much as there isn't much stock to populate, BUT you have to keep at it.
Possums only have one young a year. If you can't control them by a consistent trapping system then give up and let someone else do the job because your not up to it.
Deer, well if it wasn't for all the issues created by poisons we would have a much bigger export trade, same goes for possum and rabbit.
Rabbits, doc Twizel hasn't used 1080 on them since 1996, they do however use pindone when they are breaking in a block after fencing it, currently they are spending 50 cents a hectare to maintain rabbits at a very low level. They are doing that via fence maintenance and shooting. The army base at Tekapo has no rabbit problems now, it's regularly night shot.
Boom or bust does NOT work for pest control ever.
Then we find out the ways 1080 is often misused; no monitoring which means no fucking idea on how much is required
Completely wrong times of year
Wrong amounts of prefeed (1 instead of 2 which is industry standard for a fucking reason
No monitoring of none target species
And my total favourite BECAUSE WE NEED TO DO IT OR WE LOSE THE MONEY What. The. Fuck? The fucking budget is more important than anything else.
Two weeks ago almost to the day there was a drop behind Luggate township by ospri. They did not consult the people of the town even though that's a water supply....... oh, and the public plus the townspeople had asked several times for.meeting etc. Those.filthy dirty stinking fucktards did it away and fuck what anyone said. You wonder why people are getting a bit hot under the collar.
