I reckon the tide is turning too there has been more publicity about this shit in the last 3 months. And two drops have been called off and another stopped by the barge owner that didn't want to ferry it to where the op was. And the Jaffas water supply is getting a dose.Quote:

3/ Then their approved contactor who has the approved Resource Consents issued by the same Council to him for 20 years is awarded the contract to spread the 1080.
4/ The approved contactor then purchases the necessary tonnage of poison from the 1080 factory that is all or partially owned by the Westland Regional Council.
You would have to say that this is pretty incestuous.
I see on the news the department is worryed about loss of butterflys and other insects.
In the last 40 years our insect life has halved.
Might have something to do with dropping insecticide all over our country for the last 40 odd years eh .
Some how i doubt they have connected those dots. :rolleyes:

And it puts honey exports in jeopardy as well. Especially the lucrative manuka honey.
A lot of Westcoast hives been dieing and others have had to be killed due to 1080 poisoning. All honey from affected hives has had to be destroyed as well.
I have to agree Scribe, It sounds dodgy as hell. But I would bet my last dollar that the whole deal is tight as a Camel`s arse in a sandstorm legally.:(Quote:

Good protest from the fullas at Hoki today.
Another petition has been started 462 signatures when I signed it takes 2 secs to sign. 4000 members here surely some will sign.

Cambo, I have a Landcare Research Document that states that 1080 was found in three samples of honey comb in the Taumaranui District after a 1080 drop.Quote:

This letter was published in the Hauraki Herald about a year ago. After it was I was rung by some very excitable people including the President of the Beekeepers Association. They wanted to know if I had the proof so I pointed them in the direction of the correct science.
Interesting thing was the President of the Beekeepers Association open up a little then and told me of a beekeeper a little further up the coast from where I live who had complained to the beekeeper associating that the dye in the 1080 pellets had stained his honeycomb a green blue colour.
