they are sneaky fuckers the way the fund it. first you get the TB issue when you prove its bullshit they go the biodiversity route. then when DOC uses their budget the Animal Health board uses their budget. Now waikato rate payers fund it. when they dumped it on my back door last year all the private land that was hit had deer repellent doc refused to use deer repellent. Deer and Pig in particular have been here long enough i feel to be regarded as indigenous. it is good enough to say we are from here and this is our home the animals deserve the same treatment and protection.
It would work if they were not targeting the deer Rushy. oh thats right it's illegal to target deer with 1080 we just not put repellent on it and drop it when deer are pushed for feed oops 50% of the deer population just died a slow and painful death equal to ebola.
To be honest while I was in Australia last year I harvested on a farm last year where 1080 was being used they don't aerial drop there they lace dead carcasses of roos etc with the stuff to kill foxes and pigs and when I talked about how it was used over here they were horrified in the way AHB and DOC apply the stuff in our forests, but you know what I never saw or heard one single brushtail possum while over there on any of the farms where there was bush areas on them.
If poisoning paradise by the Graf Bros is to be believed then DOC don't follow the manufacturer's guidelines for application of the stuff in any way. For those that have not watched it it is worth a look even though very one sided. Poisoning Paradise. Shocking 1080 Documentary - YouTube
