The 1080 debate

[husaberg]

Dude, do you even have any idea how long it's been since I've said that on here?

So just who's got the fixation?

You probably said it 200 times or more the only reason you likely stopped is you realised it sounded like it does.....

Here we have a classic example as to why Hunter's should not be given free reign to control pests in NZ....

Yeah lets refuse to supply DOC with ammunition to reduce the impact of a pest, because we might not get as much hunting in and make as much money.

And all those pricks accuse DOC of having some conflict of interest from making profits off 1080

[Woodman]

And like the anti 1080 loons they will say that they are coservationists.

All that happens is the ammo is brought from overseas instead.
Did you see the campaign against Richie McCaw even though they company he works for dont do 1080 opperations it seems facts dont stop the protesters.

100,000 rounds, to kill an estimated 20,000 animals...

Are DOC using Full Autos for hunting?

Also - if only we had some form of Military, that might have ammunition...

The anti 1080ers have never let facts get in the way of a good graffiti campaign.

Its a delicate ecosystem.

If only they could find a way to pin it on the jews as well imagine how much extra conspiracy theorist support they could get for the cause.

That's to stop the cull until proper science can be conducted. A confidence interval of 95 percent is shocking science. A number in the middle isn't good policy.

They're not a pest. They're a resource.

We got tahr down to an estimated 2500 tahr. It's not like we can't do it again sadly. So any delay won't make too much difference.

1080 is another kettle of fish.

Military ammunition is unethical for game hunting or culling. Just pokes holes in them.

If you think they'll stop at tahr you're mistaken. Deer and Chamois will be next.

Good then we can start on the rabbits, Trout and Salmon and then all the introduced Ducks.
I am pretty sure the pukekos are not that native either

Good luck with that. Mackenzie basin farmers have spent a huge amount of money and they've never gotten on top of the problem. The bets chance we had water destroyed by stupid farmer's who didn't release the virus in a smart manner.

I had an interesting read about hunting with FMJ thanks to that comment - lots of people espousing the above sentiment, or simply stating it's illegal in their state, there were also those who said it's fine, so long as you are precise with your shots - but perhaps the best observation (Which really was the reason for me replying) was someone pointing out that in over a century of Wars fought with FMJ, no one ever accused the rounds as being "Less Lethal"...

Tear-gas will be banned from Police use soon as it will be deemed inhumane on the protesters ...
