Posted 19th November 2014 to the Fiordland Advocate Newspaper.
I hear the new Director Lou Sanson on the Radio Saying that He wants to Straighten out the Department of Conservation
Because they are in a mess after restructuring and internal cooperation is under stress and so are safeguards set up after the
Cave Creek Disaster...
I suppose 1080 is like Cave Creek viewing Platforms as it has a level of danger attached to it if not done right.
I was asked recently why 1080 drops are Illegal in the USA and not here... I suppose the answer is that Nobody in
America would ever want to open them selves up to litigation if a drop went wrong because that could be massive.
In New Zealand we don’t need to care about collateral damage, that is why there are few warning signs posted
Around our lakes and Parks about possible man made Toxins and low level effects.
Personally I think it’s a branding problem, 1080 sounds more toxic than Bird Restoration Sprinkles or Eco Balancing Agent.
