Thread: Kaimanawas 1080 drop

How about getting a fund going for some independant and peer reviewed studies into the effects of 1080 on national I've species, water quality and native forest health? It will hold more respect than a bunch of grumpy letters, however the studies, if conducted, are likely to work against deer stalkers interests.

The purpose of my post was for forum members to give the two groups mentioned some ammunition to use against the "forces-of-evil". If they were able to say that they have had 1000's of communications opposing the Dept of Constipation's plans to drop the 3RD dose of 1080 into one of the most heavily hunted areas of NZ, they MIGHT raise a few eyebrows????

Remember too, we do have a few friends in the funny farm that Don Key is in charge of!!!!!
