1080 kills everything that breathes oxygen, it is still effective months after being dropped. It is NOT just used where accesss is difficult . It is on walking tracks, private property, and in our waterways. I have not seen anything on TV about it. I don't watch much TV. I have been in the bush. I read and listen to people that are out there, yes it has had a benificial short term effect in some places, but , to think that there is NO alternative to its indiscrimanate use is wrong. please, there is some mis-information and flawed "science" used by the very people who are profiting from this, and they are the ones charged with protecting OUR resourses. Apart from some "haka" bits in the film , there is some content that realy does make a good case for stopping the amount of this stuff we are using.

Bronze Dragon you need to get your facts right before you get so bolshie. Yes there is a lot of film of native birds eating dropped baits. 1080 poisoning is horrific and a truely nasty way to prolong a death.

No longer a fence sitter!! Ariel dropping of 1080 is WRONG. Please if you have any feelings for New Zealand Wild life and bush, see this DVD."Poisoning Paradise-Ecocide in New Zealand" It is an eye opener. I wasn't the only one to wipe away tears at times.

Hamills in Manukau are screening this tonight. Anyone else going? I'm a fence sitting, closet greenie,feral cat hating hunter myself.

Nice Ryan, you have handled yourself and this situaton very well. That is one more "trader" not to deal with.

I have seen similar spiders in the bush at the Archery club up here. Also at Leigh . Always just thought of them as "wolf" or "huntsman" spiders....cool ones though. OK to handle, but they tend to run FAST up arms and into loose sleeves! Will get big enough to spread out over my whole palm.

AHHH. Bullet caps and white walls...THATS classic!

If the first fish have paired up you might not be able to stop them from driving off the second ones, especialy if the first ones are larger or older. Good luck though..cool fish.

They are now showing signs of breeding!! Cuckoos they are not.
