Sorry to have 'got your goat' I was just trying to write something interesting for my readers...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09236427388687907490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155395435204831863.post-36222491804663975702014-10-07T11:36:44.037+13:002014-10-07T11:36:44.037+13:00You say you don't know enough about it to comm...You say you don't know enough about it to comment but offer an opinion anyway. Your statement that it kills everything sums up your lack of knowledge. I'd suggest you look at www.1080facts.co.nz to find out why and how it is used and the risks associated with it which are minimal. Assuming you had eaten a sub lethally poisoned goat the amount you consumed will be far less than what is required to cause harm.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06261262045879507903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155395435204831863.post-38642454026762295612014-10-04T12:50:06.080+13:002014-10-04T12:50:06.080+13:00Very sad.

This is Written Without Prejudice of course; DoC will never tell you or the rest of NZ that 1080 is one of the chemicals that causes an endocrine disruption in living cells - a lethal dose causes an extremely painful death lasting hours if not days to run the course but a non lethal dose will not really make itself known for a few months, years or decades - but one of the first organs to be affected will be your liver - if I was you; you need to check on the health of your liver. The World Health Organization warned to keep 1080 out of the environment in the 70's - alot of countries listened and banned or strictly regulated the use of 1080 - NZ did not listen!!! Please remember that NZ has been using 1080 for over 60 years now and that the people that used to load the hoppers, etc. without air masks, are now coming down with all sorts of medical problems. Please remember, that the NZ Govt. owns the factory that makes other products from the imported 1080 - like 1080 pellets designed for cats, etc. ie. tasting like sardines and I believe that these products are exported to other countries. The Govt. will keep telling you that the NZ countryside needs this toxin to remain healthy.<br />Please ensure that you have your health checked. Good luck.Diana Halsteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15746661883392236755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2155395435204831863.post-65489861533279172982014-10-02T20:26:29.981+13:002014-10-02T20:26:29.981+13:00Yes, so am I.
