[QUOTE="aussiefarmer, post: 597582, member: 5729"] Jaros, money box and shakergt , Everything that eats these baits is a introduced pest species that doesnt belong in native Australia (except the dingo maybe which mostly likely was also introduced by indigenous Australians) , most of these eat our native wildlife and usually do so in a brutal and sickening attack. The comment that its " farmers dogs " disappoints me greatly , it shouldn't single farmers out , most wild dogs I have seen resemble suburban pets and hunting dogs . 1080 can be a painful death , unfortunately the harder people go against it, the more restricted the authorities are on making the baits. 10 or 15 years ago the animal that ate 1080 would only travel upto 50 meters before being stone dead. But now with weak dosing they can survive for ahout 5 hours. In my opinion this mostly has come about to give people time to get their pet to the vet to save its life after its been somewhere it should never have been. Dogs are slowly getting more rights than humans , we are getting soft (which is good in some ways) but crazy in others , if something comes into this country and destroys things that belong here well in my book it needs killing in any manner possible. [b]thanks gravity for posting a very important notice, public awareness is key to stopping non target animals being affected by baiting programs[/b] with our working dogs a muzzle is worn while baits are out and works fine if the dogs are in sight and kept to task.
