Thread: Warning Distressing and Disturbing Photographs- 1080 Poison

@ Moa Hunter

Do possums eat meat? Well...

I saw a possum eating meat (another possum) on Coast Road, Wainuiomata earlier this year. All that was left of the earlier possum was the leg that the possum I saw had in its mouth.

I was surprised and tried to video it, but it took off.

I’m not a massive fan of 1080, but I can’t support the alternative at this stage.

One of the private blocks that I hunt is now out of action for a short period of time as the adjacent public land was 1080ed last week. I’ve waited out the stand down before and there’s no shortage of deer in the Hauragis now.

It’s a senseless debate to get in online and I totally understand the passion that anti 1080 people have for the current program. None of them seem to have a viable, cost effective alternative at this stage.

Either way it’s sad.
