Thread: 1080 KILLING FISH

On the radio

Trout and 1080 poison - David Haynes | Afternoons, 2:07 pm on 30 September 2014 | Radio New Zealand

To hell with other arguments do we have the right to kill these animals in such an Inhumane fashion.
A deer takes around 2 to 3 days to die from 1080 poisoning. A traumatic death as evidence shows.
The top animals has been poisoned. The experience show in its eyes.
The bottom photo.. The deer has been shot

Right on

Thanks for that. It would have taken more than the number who voted for Ban 1080 to switch their votes to NZ First for us to get another Member, but not very many more. However if we had had one more and the Nats one fewer, we'd be looking at an entirely different ball game as regards 1080 right now.

That said, we have a new Minister, I don't know what her stance will be but I will have a talk with her for starters as soon as we're back in Wellington.

Good of you to come to the Forum Richard. I for one would like it if you visited us more often and reported the general thinking in Parliament on subjects dear to the hunters hearts. Will you support the Game Action Council.

Thank you.

@ex culler, your a bastard

To all the ones screaming 'cost effective' A little bit of information for you when it comes to doc. We don't know if it's cost effective or not cause doc now don't do any pre monitoring. Because of that they don't even know if they need to poison. How is that cost effective? HOW???
That is straight from the horses mouth via an OIA request, Science and Capability Group of doc.
Go look at the AHB website, best practice says you need to see how many you've got BEFORE an operation. But that is rocket science.
" Identifying the population density enables us to assess the TB risk in a particular area and target our control programme" from Pest management
You do realise that if they carry on with the current thinking/methods possums are going to be out of control soon in places they have never been of real concern till now.

Now all those with kids, go ask then what they have learnt about science. I know my 10 year old already knows you've got to have figures to begin with when studying anything.

On the AHB, do you realise they at times pay $80+ per possum? That is before monitoring and admin costs. Wanna know something else? I'm seeing more possums now than I have for years, and this is on farms that AHB runs over regularly needed or not.

But the AHB is all about TB, as others have said other countries have gotten rid of it without using this shit.
One question. If a truck is used to transport TB reactors what happens to it afterwards?
Does it get fully sterilized then go through multiple screenings?

Now the 1080 in fish, the mice/rats might be the reason I've gotten a report on bluecod and anothrer fish type appearing with 1080 residue. Still researching this one cause at this point I can't confirm it.

Top..The lungs of a deer that died of 1080 poisoning

Bottom... The lungs of a deer that has been shot.

My best mate is a vet. Has been for 30 yrs. He hates 1080 but reckons it just makes quadrapeds lie down and go to sleep.
After a drop in the Landsborough in 2005 I was up doing a job. I was there 2 days after the drop. I seen 9 dead deer out on river flats.
Seen a hind and a yearling lying side by side in the middle of one flat. Looked like they were out having a munch and just tipped over dead.
A week prior to the drop we seen over 40 deer out on the same flat.
The Landsborough has never recovered from that drop imo as far as deer go.

Makes you wonder doesn't, We know 1080 cause infertility and testicular effects on animals according to our Own Ministry of Health.

Our Cartoonists are onto it this week. From the Sunday Star Times

Unfortunately only 16000 voted for the Ban 1080 party and the bloody Councils are poisoning easy trapping areas also.

There seems to be nothing we can do to stop the shit poisoning our paradise.

This is the crap going on here near our river.

Oh, come on. That was March. And not 1080, and there is a box un-ticked. They weren’t even trying.

Still pisses me off,I can't even pronounce that last poison. The willow trees are looking good at the river. Now is the time we usualy go hard with spotlights on the coons. Moonlit nights with fresh willow leaves growing.But there are bugger all possums left.
@Scribe if these possums poisoned by the above poisons not 1080 and fell in the river. would the trout eating the insects ,maggots etc be infected.
@Tahr we have a tray of trout fillets here next time your over. Swap ya for a tray of venison

Probably because most people realise you need more than one policy to be worth putting in parliament?

Not saying it isn't an issue, but I don't know that forming a political party is the most effective way of getting people in power to actually think about it.
