Am i missing something? who's youtube channel?

Nah just saw it on facebook, seems all my mates are turning anti 1080 and I see it all come through

Or this one with the victims telling their story and Graff (?) reading from the nursing notes. ?

Thats the one i watched sneeze

Makes interesting reading and a number thought along those lines immediately but unfortunately Graf and his bandwagon doesn’t lend itself to being (neutral) which is a bloody shame, we only want the truth.

Neutrality isn't a prerequisite for truth. It can be those with a passion /obsession that dig deep enough to find it.

True!
I think this story would have been better picked up by someone else that’s all.

Unfortunately like common sense, there is a severe shortage of gumption these days. Hell it has been absent so long that many people don't even know what it is.

Dont let the press / herald hear you say that. they might get the idea that they are allowed to be onesided biased and do poor research or editing. (Some of their grammar should be charged as murdering the english language) I sometimes wonder if any of the reporters can actually read and write now.

Pigs are hard to kill with 1080 and so are humans u would need a death wish to try ,better off living your life and draining your soul on telling people it's the most evil thing since Hitler.Got a duty in this country though because the youth are lazy .

The New zealand LD 50 for pigs is .4mg/kg so not much and given pigs feeding habits they are in the firing line, they do have a mechanism that allows them to vomit which will save a few Im sure .The LD 50 is simply a lethal for 50% of a population. What isn't known is the maximum dose a pig may ingest and still survive. There is also some question around the toxic dose for a human, it is mostly guess work as far as I can find and comes from some quite old studies.
Has anyone seen,can link, any recent studies on the toxic levels to humans that isn't a regurgitation of old estimates ?

I dont see a lot real investigative journalism in local media, I think the internet has turned news into a race to be first consigning facts to the back of the bus.

Facts are sooo 2005. It's all about opinions now. I though one of 1080's big selling points was that it's structure was more toxic to mammals than to invertebrates and birds.
