and into waterways etc.
3. The shit kills everything that uses Oxygen ( known fact)
4. Every scientist who has worked for DOC or other depts who has produced adverse reports on the downstream effects of 1080 have lost their
jobs or contracts. ( Whiting-O'keefes, Mike Meade, Graham Cauley) just to name a few.
5. All TRUE hunters who have been into forested areas within the weeks & months after a drop find the bush DEAD, no birds,no animals,smell of dead
deer etc, no flies, no fuck all except bloody wasps.

You only have to watch "Poisoning Paradise" DVD to see what it does to our native birds, just imagine what the shit is doing to the bugs & beetles in the leaf
litter & in the streams & creeks.

So there ya go, you asked!!!! I'm sure you'll find plenty in that lot to pick holes in but what I have said is FACT & I'm sure that there are plenty of REAL hunters on this forum who will agree with my comments.

So you didn't answer a single one of those questions, just tried sidestepping the obvious as most antis do.

1 - No one cares what the FBI rate the poison as, it's irrelevant.
2 - We have a unique situation situation in this country in regards to having virtually no native mammals, whether other countries use it or not is irrelevant, they aren't in the same situation.
3 - No shit, it's a poison, you could say the same about salt, sulphuric acid, petrol, cyanide etc. Once again, irrelevant.
4 - That's a very broad sweeping statement, I haven't looked into each of their cases, were their studies peer reviewed? Shown to be biased or inaccurate?
5 - Are you saying that no 'true' hunters support 1080? What defines a true hunter? Is it possible to be a 'true' hunter and a conservationist at the same time?

I didn't ask for any of that, I asked specific questions and you decided to regurgitate ignorant statements and ignored what I asked.

I don't know why I bother, we've both made up our minds.
