| | Mäori and 1080 |
 | | Poisons such as brodifacoum are more familiar and therefore less threatening and dangerous – even though their behaviour and longevity in an ecosystem may be more problematic. | | | The fact that the debate over 1080 continues despite a substantial research effort to determine the safety and effectiveness of 1080 highlights that such research is, by itself, not sufficient to allay community and iwi concerns. | | | This research suggests that Mäori views of 1080 are as variable as Päkehä views of 1080. |

| | It is impossible to say the animal is not suffering.' EEGs on poisoned animals have produced results consistent with intense pain and distress. | | | The funding used for 1080 poisoning programs should be diverted to a rural education program to persuade farmers of the absolute necessity for de-sexing their companion animals and working dogs. | | | 1080 (or sodium monofluoroacetate) is a poison which affects both native and non-native animals. |

| | You mentioned 1080, which has been the catalyst for why you would want to have proper game-management practices in place in Tasmania. | | | I think it is a very good example of how hunters and property owners can work together to make some changes with regard to 1080 use and it has a flow on effect beyond that. | | | There is a lot said about 1080 as an issue and we are committed to trying to meet the targets set in the Tasmania Together process to reduce the amount of 1080 that is used in the State. |

| | Possible health issues for humans, given that no antidote, or diagnostic laboratory test exists for 1080 poisoning. | | | A number of court cases have arisen from the use of 1080 poison in Tasmania, and we believe that the board should be aware of these landmark cases. | | | 1080 impacts upon our trade and our future - poisoning unique endangered mammals does not sit well with a clean and green image or future. |

| | Snakes and their eggs are in turn eaten by fish, amphibians, other snakes, birds and predatory mammals such as skunks, raccoons and opossums. | | | Snakes can warm themselves by basking in the sun, lying under rocks or boards that are in the sun, or by lying on rocks and pavement that hold the heat after dark. | | | Snakes do not have external ears and are probably deaf to most sounds.They "hear" by sensing ground vibrations with their belly scales and lower jaw. |

| | Individuals with poor kidney elimination may be troubled by mild or severe symptoms of uremic poisoning during a stringent fast, because urinary wastes thrown off by the tissues are more poisonous than bowel wastes. | | | Additional poisons are now in the body, which will only weaken it for years to come. | | | But the counterpoint fact is that, today, we have far more poisons in the air, water, soil, plants, processed foods, and animal kingdom than they had back then. |

| | While the latter remedy is positively devoid of danger, and does more than antidoting the poison, it preserves the strength, preserves nerve tone, is not only a preventive of diphtheritic paralysis, but in many cases has promoted a cure of this condition, and has also cured mild forms of paralysis from other causes. | | | In whooping cough, or in scarlet fever, or measles when the eruption is slow to appear, or the urine is loaded with albumin, or where there is uremic poisoning, which is shown by mental hebetude; here the subculoyd hypodermically acts as a diuretic, diaphoretic, and antispasmodic, as well as a stimulant. | | | Many of the cases reported confirm this influence because of its direct effect upon the- cerebral circulation, mental conditions are improved, unconsciousness or even coma are immediately overcome. |

| | AVMA Pet Poison Guide |
| | Animal poisoning by drugs is by far the most common type of small animal poison exposure, accounting for 75% of 1990 toxin exposures as reported by the AAPCC and 82 of 425 fatalities. | | | Whereas poisoning is not the most common of problems that most pet owners face with their companion animals (thankfully!), if such a situation should arise it is worth having considered the possibility beforehand. | | | These poisons — with ingredient names like warfarin, fumarin, diphacinone, bromadiolone — act by interfering with the animal's ability to utilize Vitamin K. One of they key roles of Vitamin K is in the production of coagulation factors in the body which cause blood to clot when necessary. |

| | POISON CONTROL |
| | Poisonous snakebites leave a u-shaped tooth pattern with fang punctures that may bleed, emit a discharge and cause rapid swelling in the area of the bite. | | | Poisonous snakes have fangs, their heads are larger, their eyes are oval and there is a distinctive indentation behind the nostrils. | | | Symptoms of poisoning range from drooling, muscle spasms, and difficulty in breathing to vomiting, shivering and panting, bleeding from orifices, swelling, convulsions and coma. |

| | Poison will not be supplied until the landholder has signed a formal request that poison be supplied, and has entered into a legally binding agreement to advise neighbours that poison is to be laid and to display “Poison Laid” notices on the property. | | | The susceptibility of non target species to 1080 toxicity is also limited by other aspects of the poisoning program, such as the bait material used, the position and way in which the bait is laid, the concentration of 1080 used in the bait, and the addition of dyes. | | | Poisoning of small mammals has been shown to be negligible when the poison furrow is placed in open paddocks, rather than within the bush line. |

| | 1080 is the commonly used name for sodium fluoroacetate (also known as sodium monofluoroacetate), a potent metabolic poison used primarily to control mammalian pests. | | | In clinical cases, use of muscle relaxants, anti-convulsants, mechanical ventilation and other supportive measures may all be required. | | | In humans, 1080 poisoning has somewhat similar symptoms to an acute heart attack. |
