DoC declines a farmer’s request to extend the buffer zone around a 1080 drop in order to protect his lambing & calving animals

All this, as NZers rally at many points throughout NZ & in Wellington at Parliament, in protest against the aerial drops of 1080 on the land.

Prefeed was scheduled to be dropped on 6 Sept.

This email was received by a farmer in the area, who tried to get a bigger buffer zone as he has lambing and calving going on, but DoC refused. He has to contend with a 200 metre buffer zone – it is not enough !

They told him on the phone yesterday that the poison itself will be dropped next week :

  1. Its becoming more clear to me that the tenets of agenda 21 are being implimented with the eco terrorism of 1080. Permanent revolution..collectivism..corruption..child and public indoctrination such as.”battle for the birds” .war without declaration..regionalism. and a police state..All the ingredence needed to bring the social change necessary for a government control society. We have a very serious situation in NZ with all goverment depts acting as arms of agenda 21. it has become virtualy lawless.
    Key word: .collectivism.

    1. Hi Bill, I agree. Just been watching live stream vids from Wellington protest, going to post later, some interesting observations by Councilor Kathy White & Dr Charlie Baycroft about what amounts to police state carry on. Serious indeed. Thanks for commenting 🙂
