I have aleady been punished for questioning the safety of the impending 1080 drop. I have removed all the cattle I graze for their own safety so have no Income At least I can sleep at night. However I am now very concerned about the Ground Drop done pre Christmas around the Egmont National Park and Ring Plane as most of the Birds Including Resident Paradise Ducks Pukekos etc dissapeared. We fence off Waterways for their good health only to have them laced with Cianide etc. All washing down to the sea. There is a lot of Sediment washing down now too so don't be surprised DOC when you have Blue Penguins Seals etc found dead along the Coastline.

DOC gets caught lying about the effects on the environment to do with these poisons all the time. When are we going to stop treating them as the authority rather than the criminal?

This is inhumane! Why is the government allowing drops of 1080 over the land we live, breath and eat from? Its well worth watching this video http://www.enufisenuf.co.nz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73&Itemid=89 THIS IS A REAL EYE OPENER!!! Time to wake up NZ, im am so against this that if i see one of those helicopters with 1080 fly over my property i will be more than tempted to shoot it down. I WILL NOT SIT BACK AND WATCH INNOCENT ANIMALS DIE, nothings more sad than seeing an elderly guy losing his life long Doggy companion Due to 1080. (and it wasn't an 'easy death' more like slow, and utterly traumatizing!) DISGRACEFUL no words can explain the mass murder they, DOC are committing.

Absolutely shocking that NZ still allow a multikilling toxin to be used. Its time to get together and make a stand. log onto htp://www.enufisenuf.co.nz/ this website has been set up to inform people of the use of multikilling toxins, and it also informs people of a Nation Stand agains 1080 and toxins alike that are being used by D.O.C paid for by us from our taxes, that the Government approve. 15 November 2009 mark it on your calendar. So I plead with you to go on line find out where your nearest protest point is and lets have a show of population that it is not ok to use these toxins.
D.O.C & Government your days are numbered, STOP USING THESE TOXINS - THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES, THAT ARE COST EFFECTIVE AND GENERATE MONEY INTO OUR ECONOMY

et onto the graf web site and write to the ministers. This lie has to stop so that we can then work on who the stupid dumb idiot that says its ok to poison our nation is put behind bars. DOC are committing mas genocide on our ecosystem. WHY???? we want answers and will take this to the ministers involved. Two doc workers are charged by doc $3000 for removing 2 dead branches of a rata tree hanging over water. Whats wrong with this picture in New Zealand. DoC are criminals. If you want to get a concession to operate in a national park DoC will make sure you mitigate every negative before allowing it., They will not give you a concession if you are going to harm one species. Again what is wrong with this picture We need to go straight to the guts of it and that is the director general Hugh Logan must be asked the questions. He is the big boss write to him. demand action lets melt him down you dont here his name and he is good at hiding behind the bushes. Take action new zealanders. Im writing to international organizations asking for help due to the mass genocide in New Zealand you do it to.

What a load of inDOCtrinated whitewash. Lies, lies and more lies. And to think people actually buy this rubbish that DOC continue to dribble It should be compulsory for DOC to conduct testing of any dead species within a certain radius of aerial poison drops to determine the cause of death! Isn't it obvious that these "coincidences" are becoming more frequent! And for the DOC rep to fobb the whole thing off by endorsing the consumption of fish immediately after a poison drop as if the risks are minimal or insignificant is foolish and careless... After all, we're talking about a TOXIC substance that once broken down, it binds to soil particles (or in cases where it ends up in marine ecosystems as was the case above)it binds to marine sediments where it can pose as a threat to shellfish, muscles etc... There's no way I'd eat anything from the area after this sort of scandal. This is the same sort of nonsense that the public were fed in relation to 1080 being a substance that "safely breaks down in water"... Well, that was DOC's argument until of course an anti 1080 protestor in Nelson threatened to dump 1080 into the public's drinking waterways... suddenly the authorities weren't too supportive on 1080 being friendly to waterways.. C'mon New Zealand - wake up and start asking questions!! WHY ARE THESE COINCIDENCES BECOMING MORE AND MORE FREQUENT??? Jamie Carle Canterbury

Here's a few more relevant catch phrases for New Zealand:
1080% PURE NEW ZEALAND or
100% PURE HIPOCRITS or maybe
100% PURE BOLLOCKS

And I thought the deadly Puffer fish was the cause of all this.... according to DOC - seems they are victims too - found this floating in the Hauraki Gulf on Sunday 7th Sept 2009. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3422/3895198687_4eb77df2dd_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2668/3895198235_2f47c65824_b.jpg
