Option One:
You’re in the bush on a hike. It’s a beautiful day, in fact,
a really hot sunny day. The bush is peaceful and quite, almost too quite. Walking
a bit further, a pungent smell drifts under your nose. You look to the side to
see a decaying deer with its neck twisted back and foam coming out from its
eyes, nose and mouth. Before you scared them away, little birds were having
lunch on the carcass. What would you do? Would you ponder on what happened to
it? Probably had some form of disease right? Ya know, one of those natural
things that just happens without control?

No, that deer that you just thought about was murdered by a
poison called 1080. Unnecessary and cruel. Not to mention dangerous to the
birds who were eating it.

Option Two:
(Show a picture of a Kea on the screen) Hey mummy what bird
is this? Why haven’t I seen one? Could potentially be a question asked by your
child. What are you going to say? That
our generation let the lethal poison called 1080 continue being dropped in our
native forests? That these very birds they wish to see no longer exist, and
they suffered a horrible tortured death?
1080 is destroying the animals is was made to protect, and
we’re giving up the fight. There are other alternatives to using this poison,
so why are we turning our backs on such a problem?

Option Three:
What if the only way for you to get your nutrition is to go
out hunting? How can you go hunting when there’s a 1080 drop happening where
you have to wait at least 6 months before you go out into the forest? Or what
about all the animals you could’ve hunted and taken home that are instead dying
and rotting on the forest floors?
