1080 Poison - Grafs Wrong

1080 poison is a biodegradable toxin used to protect NZ forests and native wildlife. In the winter of 2008, the Graf brothers were gathering footage for their anti-1080 video, Poisoning Paradise Ecocide in New Zealand, and they claimed through the media that a single operation near Nelson Lakes had killed 12,700 birds. They were wrong.

The wildlife audio and video for this clip were taken on the afternoon of 18 November 2009 and early morning on 19 November 2009 inside the area indicated by the Grafs as the site of a bird massacre.

If 1080 was so good, why is it hidden in so much secrecy? And bad science is used to promote it, they'll not even allow peer reviewed studies - disappointing if not down-right criminally negligent. People wanting the truth - read "The Third Wave - Poisoning the Land" by W F Benfield

Hi spearfishies, 1080 is not hidden in secrecy. The science is actually good, I suggest that you look at the video and question the lack of science used by Clyde Graf in his false claim that a 1080 operation had caused large-scale destruction. When I checked his claim I found it was a fake.

@TrakaBat how was it offensive? i think you just deleted it so that no1 could see it because u knw it was right. Me and @ruby6300 were right about the matter and your to pathetic to realise what its doing? people like you are just gutless and should not have a say in matters such as this.

@lifesaboar3, take out the offensive swearing and resubmit it.

Well done good to hear some common sense, facts not fiction.cheers

@tairuapete thanks for the support.

Trakabat, what's your agenda? You seem to be trying to be an investigative journalist without the investigation part. And why are your extremely partial videos embedded in a government department's website? I would have thought that DOC's role is to provide an informed position on pest control.

@TrakaBat wow that shows how pathetic you are doesnt it. grow some balls if u cant handle a swear word.
