The NZ government wants to get NZ predator free by 2050.

Please could you kindly sign our petition below?

'We feel the government should fund safer alternatives to the bait poison 1080 in their aim for a predator free NZ by 2050"

Updates

October 6, 2016

I am currently compiling the concerns left in our comments to present them directly to the Department of Conservation. Email your local Member of Parliament today to demand they prioritize research into safer baiting methods.

The momentum on this petition is real and it shows that people demand safer methods for our environment. Phone your local representative today to demand they prioritize funding for non-toxic alternatives.

Enough with the poison drops in our forests. My dog got sick near a drop zone last year and it was awful. Look for better ways.

Pest control should focus on: • Being non-toxic • Being humane • Creating employment I support banning the use of 1080 in NZ!

1080 is lazy management. trap and hunt is the real solution if they actually cared about the environment instead of just ticking boxes for 2050.
