New Zealand's National Pest Control Agencies will be SPREADING BY AIR 1080 POISON that will KILL OUR NATIVE KEA PARROTS! They will be dropping the poison when our native Kea Parrot is very hungry as its food supply is very scarce in winter.
THERE WILL BE TWO AERIAL DROPS
The first time they will spread just flavoured cereal. The second time, will contain deadly 1080 poison.
SIGN THIS PETITION TO HELP US STOP THE POISONING! We will present this petition to the NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and members of parliament to make them take action.
IMPACT ON KEA
Kea will eat the cereal baits and die. They will also be poisoned if they drink from ponds and alpine tarns where the baits lie, or scavenge poisoned carcasses or eat the dying insects surrounding the poisonous baits.No bird repellent will be used to avoid harm to our Native Kea Parrot, No repellent has been successful so far.
We need your help to save our Native Kea and to STOP New Zealand National Pest Control Agencies dumping 1080 poison in our environment. Each year New Zealand's National Pest Control Agencies dump enough 1080 poison to kill 20 million people!
NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD DOES THIS?

They say it's to save the birds from preditors, but 60 years ago before 1080 there were rats, cats and stoats and millions of birds. Now there are rats, cats and stoats but very few native birds. If it hasn't worked in 60 years why on do they carry on?
Stop the drops. Not safe from the air - targets not species and ends up in waterways. Many studies show is not successful just breeds more rats so stop using via the air please! Plus how can the bird population increase when 1080 destroys the process of fertility. We have a decrease in Kiwi's, Keas
Why are DoC doing this .. .. are they making sure ours and their grandchildren get to only see these and others by book & history lesson. I thought you were here to protect our wildlife. Your actions are a sham, a shame and an embarrassment to our nation - especially our wildlife. So, so sad!!!
yes i want this stoped now.. before they do another dump on lower North island orongorongo valley where i live, and spend much time in the valley in a private hut; and they want to do it on my land and i am saying no , to any poison. will trap if need be..
It is beyond belief that Doc Are prepared to kill more adult kea, there are less kea in NZ than there are kiwi and kea do not breed every year - killing adults is very harmful to the long term survival of any population, see Graeme Elliots video in full and you will hear that there
it's a disgusting gravy train run by psychopaths
GOD-willing, very soon the very best animal welfare laws and protections shall become prevalent throughout the world.

I have spent 30 years observing our native birds , I know from my personal observations that when 1080 poison is aerially dumped in a forest the bird life numbers plummet. 1080 is killing our native birds
