Stop 1080 Poison
In 1998, the Regional Council told us 1080 poison was safe! All our neighbours were having it laid so we may as well too. If we didn't, and possums were found on our
property after the operation, we would have to pay to get rid of them. It could cost us a lot of money, they said.
After the aerial drop, I walked around the neighbouring forestry block to count the dead birds and animals. For the following months I suffered from chronic fatigue, and cardiac arrythmias (racing heartbeat.) This frightening condition gradually decreased over the next three years until I was back to my normal healthy state. Several others in our area also had these symptoms, or suffered heart attacks at this time.
Several local public walking tracks and recreational areas were poisoned by "accidental overflies" and many non-target animals were killed, including more than forty pets.
Less than four years later, they wanted to come back and do it all over again.
That's when the battle began!
