I am totaly against the use of 1080 as a form of pest control Aerial drops should cease.. Not only is it a pesticide it is an insecticide takeout insects they are the backbone of the eco-system take out them you take out all those that rely on them for food and pollination. EX Government Scientists entomologists Peter Notman and Mike Meads both warned about the consequences of the widespread use of 1080 it seems to have fallen on deaf ears. Corporate science seems to be the only science that rules in NZ paid for by the sponsors of the products used. Hi Richie

Ray doesn't get it yet, as an advocate for 1080 he's happy to spread that stuff all over the place killing everything in sight including his precious native wildlife.

Waste of time and not cost effective. Look forward to your answer. cheers Ray What would you say Bob to a person that says

You're a wonderful bloke to give up your time and rough it in the bush. We need more people fighting to hang on to our native forest for our birds and other wildlife. Good luck with beating those pests and I hope you can enter the Pestbuster awards again this year. Good on you, Bob. You’re a wonderful bloke to give up your time and rough it in the bush.
