This is the first qualitive study to give voice to people whose dogs have been harmed by 1080.
A Deakin University team - comprised of Dr Adam Cardilini, Dr Alexa Hayley and Associate Professor Bill Borrie - interviewed seven people about their dogs’ deaths from 1080 poisoning to understand its impact on dog guardians and their relationships with other animals.
The participants shared uniquely personal stories, yet strikingly all identified the experience of watching their dog die from 1080 poisoning as ‘horrendous’ and ‘horrifying’.
There is no specific antidote for 1080 poisoning, however veterinary treatments can assist in your dog’s survival.
I’m in an area where they often have 1080 FOX POISON signs up warning everyone that they are baiting etc.
I often see dog owners with their dogs off the leash. I always tell them there are baits out. They just don’t seem to care… smh…
We don’t deserve dogs.Dogs don’t deserve us … 😔There is the counter studies that says almost all the dogs killed are dingos as well.
It’s shit all round and mostly only benefits animal agriculture.
Just had a quick read of the dingo wikipedia article because I was under the impression that we didn’t have many pure dingos left. Apparently we do.
That is entirely the point. I’m not sure what you thought it was? Dingos aren’t an endangered species and are even a declared pest in some areas.
Even conservationist regard it as a feral species.
Because I’m an environmentalist and animal agriculture isn’t really part of a healthy ecosystem?
They are killed out of areas which makes them limited (or maybe endangered) to that area. Baiting reduces their numbers. That’s the point, is it not?
Who? To me, if dingos are 3000+ years on the mainland then they are less feral than sheep and other animal agriculture.
