New Zealand First absolutely supports the need to protect our native wildlife from predation by introduced animals such as rats and stoats and we absolutely support the need to protect our cattle and deer herds from Bovine Tuberculosis (BTB). However we are opposed to the continued use of aerially applied 1080 poison as a means of controlling target animal species with regards to these concerns. 1080 is an inhumane and indiscriminate poison which kills all air-breathing organisms.
