The 1080 debate

[husaberg]

So it's your word against his.

It doesn't really settle the argument though, does it?

No its skipas word against yours and yours is hearsay at best and you are a egg that often makes up shit.

[FJRider]

I doubt the dead Keas agree with you.

The dead Kea's probably didn't say much about it ... ???

No shit Einstein.

[FJRider]

No shit Einstein.

You did appear to believe that Keas could talk ... AND hold an opinion ...

[Woodman]

How so?

If the pests are destined for extermination anyway I fail to see why anyone would object to them being genetically sterilised.

I was referring to deer, they are also pests.

Bit of a mute point really....unless youve done it, not really qualified to comment....cough...cough

I suppose it begs the question 'just how much effort is really going into looking for an alternative - or how an alternative could be made to work?'

There is a pest control project being run in the Perth Valley which is using a mixture of 1080 drops and trapping. The plan is to use 1080 to remove the possums and rely on the river barriers/trapping to prevent re invasion. Hopefully it works...




The company that is doing it is quite innovative.

Your part of the discussion is hardly engaging ...

Amusing ...

Maybe those dead possums you were talking to ... were lying ...

And look how a plan to eradicate deer turned into a wide-spread farming industry.

Sometimes it takes a bit of thinking outside the box.

Of course they talk. That it isn't english shouldn't matter. Try keep your linguistic prejudice in check eh.

Bugger off. They're more valuable than you think. Especially for the region's. If they're gone they'll suffer. Less food for poor people around and less money in their economy. People who currently spend millions of dollars on deer and other game animals would never spend that much on birds.
