New Zealand prides itself on the clean and green image. Dumping poisons into national parks to kill animal is far from that image.

As a bushman all my life I seen and cleaned up the aftermath from 1080 killing more species not in the target for pests. After 45 yrs in the bush species of all have declined by large numbers if not none exists in those areas laid with 1080

There are other options than POISON to help with pest control. especially a poison which goes on to kill other animals it wasn't intended for and gets into rivers etc. Its foolish to unleash a poison into NZ Nature where we dont know how far its reach may spread. Especially when the problem is man made.. we shouldnt punish our flora and fauna for that.
If there was a more species/specific use of 1080 for rodents and species not utilized for human consumption I would support it but I don't think that's possible.
