1080 -Against

Aerial 1080 drops need to stop

We know that DoC has an important task in working to protect and preserve our natural environment, and our native flora and fauna.
However, studies have shown evidence of considerable harm to some native species from aerial 1080 operations as one would expect given the indiscriminate nature of the aerial 1080 programme. 19 different native bird species have had corpses test positive for 1080 after aerial 1080 operations, significant percentages of some native bird species are killed, and 11 of these native species have never had the poisoning risk quantified. Some of these precious national treasures may never recover such heavy losses.

Here is a video explaining the damage that 1080 can cause, to both the environment and our native animals.
