Kirislin Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 saw this on facebook. "WARNING: Dog Lovers Please note: DELWP is going to be putting down 1080 Poison to control foxes from Monday 3rd Aug - Friday 18th December Off Valley Farm Road in Healesville. They will also be doing areas in Marysville, Rubicon, Big River, Toolangi State forests, Lake Eildon National Park & Cathedral Range State Park. This bait can be lethal to dogs, so please keep them restrained if in these areas. There is a delay in the poison action of 1080 and animals that have ingested 1080 animal bait products and may die on your property. Contact your vet immediately if you notice any unusual or uncharacteristic behaviour." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirislin Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 1080 also kills some native wildlife species... quolls, for example - who are already bloody endangered... grrr! T. I was thinking about that, and all the birds of prey who eat the poisoned victims. It's supposed to be a dreadful death too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemmy Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I've heard about its effects... It's not a peaceful way to go at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melzawelza Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 It's disgusting that we're still using 1080 in this day and age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdierikx Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 They like it because its dead easy to distribute... not necessarily because it's actually effective at targetting the designated "pest" species... *sigh* T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
