Re: 100% Pure New Zealand ............ yeah right!

I have an strong hatred of 1080. I believe that now days they set traps and poison bait stations that severely restrict what animals can get to the baits (They may still be doing aerial drops, I do not know). That said I fail to understand why, in this day and age, they are not using a poison that is species specific and quickly breaks down.

I know there are people in Australia that believe the hype that an animal that has dies from 1080 can be eaten by other animals and not affect it.


The bit they had about stoats taking the birds if no rats are about is extremely debatable. Stoats will take whatever is easiest to catch and ground dwelling birds make up a good part of their diet in some areas. Also they interviewed a female from the RSPCA (Royal Society Prevention Cruelty to Animals). She was reporting a case in Aust. It may of happened but I do not trust any thing that comes out of the mouth of the RSPCA. To me they are a rabid greeny crowd, whose rabidness overweight's any good they do.

I do hope both NZ and Aust stop using 1080.
