STOP POISONING DINGOES...
1080 is not a sustainable method of population control, and only temporarily removes the target animals from a given area. It also has no effect on the overall population of a species (except where they are already made vulnerable through habitat loss, i.e. with native animals). The sudden removal of a group of animals merely creates spaces which will quickly refill themselves. 1080 only creates the illusion of an immediate solution, usually for short sighted economic gains. There are many forms of non-lethal population control, that are both humane and effective, and that will not also damage our already very fragile environment. Many humane and non-lethal alternatives to 1080 exist, and if we stop seeing 1080 as a necessary evil.... eg Maremma guardian dogs...
