Sure the journo could have done some fact checking, but at least they made the change. That's more than what we often do on here.

If they admitted they had fucked up originally I could follow your thought pattern, but when dramatizing is the NO 1 object can't go there.

Lmao hows that good journalism??? Before you release a story get the FACTS right first, thats good journalism, not state something you havnt checked or dont really know for sure but hey, it sounds good and it sells papers. Shit journalism is what it is, and the truth in the end comes out so what are they going to do.....of cause they going to correct the false crap they released as they look like complete knobs if they didnt. Funny how we see things differently is right,

Another brain-melting reminder of why I usually stay away from the stuff website.

Its a glass half empty or half full thing. I see it as a genuine journalistic attempt on informing the public about not buying game meat from a dodgy source. We all know that it goes on.
They only mistake that they made was in one sentence suggesting a causal link between the dodgy game meat market and the wild pork saga. That is was they redacted.

Correction to above: That is what they redacted.

Not being presumptious at all @Pengy - simply said he must of misread something.
I was just being more accurate and quoting a source, seeing as some seem to jump to conclusions and fly off the handle far to quickly

Maybe the staff from stuf should try eating some pork from around Chernobyl our Fukushima
Eat that stuf and you would be green all the way through.
I just read that a dead polar bear is considered toxic waste due to it being at the top of the food chain and all that good shit that is floating around up north
Just look up radioactive boar

The number of times I have read a story on Stuff'd website only to check back later and find they have changed it more often because someone calls them out on their bullshit....Being online they are able to fact check afterwards and there is no proof of wrongdoing...In pint they are more careful as now there is evidence of their sensationalism and they can be sued / charged .

Its called stuff (d) ans in Go and get stuff(d)....

Don't know if this has been shared already, can't be bothered looking through 11 pages of comments. Apologies if it has.

Nah I'd say considering its food a bloke who runs a rewind outfit would be far more qualified

Are there any tests being done to determine if it was secondary poisoning?

I suppose it would not be good for DOC's agenda to chuck poison out of helicopters if any poison full stop made them sick.

1080 is not the only thing we have so much of we need to chuck it out of helicopters. They use Brodificom too.

I recall reading on day one, that the fella actually hunted the pig that day and ate it the same day. I also thought that that was quite a feat for a Bangladesh bloke.
