Protest against poison bait
HOBART — On February 12, forest activists showed what they think of
Premier Jim Bacon allowing Forestry Tasmania to use carrots laced with
1080 poison as bait to kill native animals. The poison causes a painful
death, and is not monitored for impact on the waterways and food chain.
