If they were talking about tea, not sure what tea they're drinking.

*edit: their information about tea is wrong here too, that fact is wrong. While tea is more "hydrating" than water (and only some particular tea such as Green Leaf because a lot of tea has caffeine which dehydrates you) the amount of water is still the same, and unless that "cup" that they're drinking from is about 1.5 litres then no..... most tea consumers aren't over hydrating themselves..... *

Is Forest and Bird run by 10 year olds who make up their own facts or something?

Kevin Hackwell, Forest and Birds head honco has been guilty of holding up a bag of salt and vinegar chips the inference is that 1080 is no more dangerous than the salt and vinegar in the chip packet. Children were present at this meeting.

We always know when a drop is coming. It is telegraphed by stories in the press written by Forest and Bird. These series of stories often declare that the number of birds being eaten by possums and rats is increasing dramatically and calling upon DOC to do something about it.
