well many years ago at Kaitaia I had to listen to a 1080 protester rabbiting on about getting huge speakers out in the bush which blasted sonic waves which drove the possums out of the scrub - we pointed out what about our native bird life - I had visions of bald fantails flying out screaming turn that f*&%# g thing off - another protester who had smoked way to much of his own homegrown product tried seriously to get finance from DOC to invest in a natural cure for possums - this involved grinding up various parts of possums and then spreading it thru the bush - thus possums would then emerge out onto the farmland to escape the smell where they could be caught - he was actually serious and put in local paper how disappointed he was that he could not get funding - apparently the idea had been around for a while and originated from America ( where else) - the real problem with these nutters is that some people actually believe them
