1080

Yellow Hat

• It kills possums, stoats and rats.
• When a rat eats the poison and a stoat comes along and eats the rat, that is called a triple kill.
• Many native trees and birds show significantly better growth when the have gone.
• The kiwi chick survival has more than doubled since 2006.
• 1080 does not kill fish.

Black Hat

• There is no antidote for 1080 poison.
• It can kill dogs, cats, deer, pigs, and other animals.
• 1080 can last up to six months if it's in a cool dry place.
• The poison can get into the water streams and affect the water.
• If 1080 gets into the human body, you can get lots of lethal problems and it will likely kill you.

Red HAt

• I think 1080 is good, because it helps kill possums, stoats and rats. It saves all the native trees that the pests damage and it also helps farmers get rid of TB, because possums can give cows the disease and eventually die.
