Documentary warns of the dangers of 1080 poison - Video

Today in the Taranaki Daily News page 5 there is a story from the Department of Conservation warning people of the possibility that their dogs may be poisoned from possums killed from the recent 1080 drop. There is also a picture of a possum that had no fur. Recently after 'The Drop' I found myself standing on a whole pile of possum fur on the bush boundary. My point. They are in so much pain they rip all the fur from their skin.

true ambassadors of "godzone". love how "the grafs" roll. keep making us proud boys, kia kaha.

After asking DOC "is the Buffer from my Boundary the same as 2002". DOC said "No as there was no buffer then "(I and other farmers know there was) I was then told we are coming right along your 1km boundary. Sadly most other farmers here believe there is still a Buffer. My husband was told and shown on a Map 150m Buffer. We now have it in writing NO BUFFER and we have to keep the stock off the boundary until 100mls of rain. In January!!. So the stock have had to be removed. After knowing people who's stock have died immediately after a 1080 drop very close to their drinking water in 60-200acre paddocks I am more scared of them being poisoned from the water than pellets. Regardless of THEIR Science they feed us with. I went for a big walk in the Ranges that has had 1080 many times and heard 3 birds. I come back stinging from the black substance covering and suffocating a lot of the trees. Nothing can live in there and on the forest floor. No worms No Insects No Fantails to greet you. Doc say no King Ferns live in this bush Whatsoever.THEN why are they everywhere else. Including where there has been no PEST CONTROL WHATSOEVER. Why in a line of trees is the ONE that had Cyanide Pellets stapled to it looking very brown. After they stapled that stuff everywhere all the Pukekos (except for 1 lame one and some babies) and the Paradise Ducks that have lived here for years have gone. All of the bush on our farm is organic, no poisons and is very healthy. We have certain trees by our house where we know possums have been and they have NEVER been eaten out. On the contrary we Have watched some birds Totally STRIP trees. They grow back. THEY have ruined the Ecology in the National Parks here. It's only a matter of time before they realise it. By then it will probably be too late. I agree with those who say we are being deceived. 1080 is Very Bad. I also know of far too many people who's health has been badly affected in DROPZones. BUT I know from enquiries it does not even enter the minds of Local Doctors Medlab or Health Centres. For those who think I am telling PORKIES. I live in this Environment. I can't beleive nothing lives in the Water anynore. I,m talking about water in the bush or comes straight from it. It has not had any human interference except for 1080.
