I'm all for protecting native species but is choosing the most inhumane method, simply because it's the cheapest option, really the way an advanced society should deal with an issue?

Yeah, why can't we just set Gin traps?
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.

Do you truly think Gin traps are the only other option?
Forum whore
There are viable alternatives.
Yes, they might be more expensive - but that was the whole point behind post #1.
(And by the way, I'd feed 1080 to you in a heartbeat).

Tell us more...

Go do some reading.

Oh, look. It isn't going to be a debate about 1080, rather about people's personalities. Woohoo!

You shouldn't let yourself be put off so easily.Oh, look. It isn't going to be a debate about 1080, rather about people's personalities. Woohoo!
Make a post that expresses your opinion - if you have one.

If you spent as much time on pest control as you do arguing pointless causes on forums the country wouldn't have a pest problem & you would have a MBE by now.

The West Coast is 80% DOC stretches from the the equivalent of Auckland to Wellington, most of it is mountainous a lot of it is near totally un-accessible on foot or to dangerous to traverse it also has few roads.
It also is a TB endemic area.
So go ahead name these viable alternatives.
Then tell me who is going to pay.
how much extra its going to cost
Then how much you personally are willing to pay for it.
Then explain what the issue is with 1080 in the first place.
You could also outline your experience with 1080 and the other methods outline all their pros and cons

I'll pay for it out of my taxes - just like everyone else will.
And yes, I'm happy to pay more towards an alternative to the callous and indiscriminate poisoning of our environment and it's inhabitants.

but i will take it that you are willing for the tax payers and landowners everywhere in NZ to pay all the additional costs?
PS a lot of the money for vector doesn't come from taxes (I am not surprised you never knew that either)

You might want too explain the callous and indiscriminate part as well as how you intend to control the vectors.
Then explain what the issue is with 1080 in the first place.
