I didnt know about the plane dropping and that is just absolutely mental in my view, who knows where this stuff could end up -surely the people at DOC know about all the risks, they obviously still think thats its a feasible thing to do…I bet they say that from their suburban home. A petition is needed x

Toxic to feral deer and goats! so there are no other plant eating species out there………. or carnivores that will feed on the toxic carcases of the possums/other herbivores that were poisoned. Why don’t they make sure and drop a few bombs as well. It’s many years since I did my biology degree but this sounds like environmental lunacy.

You should hear our neighbour on this subject. He’s a hunter and will spend many nights out in the back country hunting boar. I think he’s had a number of dogs poisoned by 1080. It’s a slow and painful death. Interestingly, a community in the south island has managed to get the air drop stopped in lieu of manual laying. This is marginally better but still not right in my mind.
