Coasters and other NZer's living in close proximity to our native bush know full well that 1080 is wrong for our ecology - we plead with you all to investigate both sides of this argument, visit many sites, not just the demo sites set up by DoC

people that like 1080 should come down the coast and live with it, i spent most of my spare time in the bush and dont see alot of possums but do notice the lack of bird life where they have 1080, it kills everything

It is surely time to put alternatives to 1080 poisoning in context.Possum trappers & shooters claim to have killed 3 million possums and that sounds good until one realises that the estimated population is 70 million.AS for being a way of reducing unemployment, most possum hunters do not make a living wage, they are generally part timers.
