1080 is killing the Moa. DoC don't want hunters to know about the Moa and are deliberately trying to kill them.

#ban1080

Clearly in league with the Haast's Eagles as well, which can do the 1080 drops into inaccessible regions with ease...

So katman what do you suggest we do right now to save our native species?

Start thinking outside the box.

Keep 1080 drops going or stop them until a "out of the box solution" is found?

I would suggest restricting aerial drops to areas that are truly inaccessible until a humane method of eradication is found and promote opportunities for business ventures in the fur and meat trade that can be supplied from areas that are accessible.

So you want to promote pests in the bush?

No, I want to see ideas promoted that make it desirable for people to help in eradicating pests without the use of inhumane poisons.

I thought I'd already made myself fairly clear on that.

So what were these various alternatives to our current use of 1080 you claimed we already had earlier, were you just making them up?
Is it alright to use inhumane traps.

katboys linguistic abilities (or lack thereof) is what I tried to highlight. His limited vocabulary doesn't help him much ... as he repeats himself a lot. Suck my cock is a common phrase for him. It certainly shows his sexual leanings and preferences ...

You might think the Green Party might have done that ... but their only comment on the subject is ... We'll continue to use 1080 until a better (cost effective) alternate method is found.

If they aren't that fussed about it ... why should you be ... ??

I'm sure they'll love to hear your ideas ...
