  • Does increased “Nesting success” mean birds are better off after poisoning?
  • Is aerial 1080 needed to control Tb?
  • The Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment did not review the use of 1080 for Tb:
  • Undiagnosed Tb-infected cattle are a major problem in Tb control
  • Poor livestock management
  • There is no evidence of any possum giving Tb to a cow
  • Aerial poisoning of the landscape
  • Very little is known about how Tb is transmitted
  • There is a low prevalence of Tb in possums
  • Possums are only one of many potential Tb vectors
  • The other potential vectors are not controlled by 1080
  • Repeated poisoning may result in 1080-resistant rats
  • What alternatives are there to poisoning?
  • Battle for our Birds
  • Beech masts are associated with increases in mice
  • 1080 is not good at killing mice
  • Masts do not reliably predict rat or stoat eruptions
  • 1080 is not good at controlling stoats
  • Responses to masting are short-lived
  • Observer interference has probably caused the low success rates
  • Predation is difficult to identify
  • 1080 causes rat plagues and increased mouse numbers
  • There is a need for proper ecological studies of 1080
  • NZ’s ecosystems have been coping with rats for centuries
