We won't tell them our plans until most of them are on the trains heading to the camps.

i'm not anti 1080. i'm anti aerial blanket drops of it. it can be done in much better ways. i've dished out my share of 1080. in TARGETED poisoning. ops.

but, what is your argument?
if 1080 is so fuckin good, why are we one of the only OECD countries that use it? and why have we been using it for fifty bloody years, if it's so fuckin good?

1080 is the only effcient way to control possums and other varmin in NZ end of story. Especially in extremely hilly terrain which is near impossible to bait manually. I can't think of another country in the world where possums bread like they do here. You only have to sit in suburbia anywhere in Wellington to see the positive effect it's had on the native bird life etc. Anyone that says otherwise is talking out their arse.

The possums love it.

1080 will kill a dog three- poisoned carcasses on. (i'm not condoning dogs running amok. that's just a handy fact)
1080 fucks EVERYTHING. half of it doesn't even get to the forest floor, it hangs up in trees and so eaten by (rats) and birds. even the native birds...

because they dropped 1080 in wellington suburbia? did i miss something?

wellington is incredibly lucky, not least because of the karori sanctuary, but also they be surrounded by boosh, and a lot of people spend a lot of time and effort in that boosh, killin shit. (not for wont of 1080) and, it may be coincidence, but a lot of people i've met/dealt with/heard of, in wellingtown suburbia who also do their part, not feeding cats, trapping coons, etc.
