"... a tourist drivess down the road as a helicopter delivers 1080 right overhead,
squashing the deadly poison on the road underneath their car tyres!"
POISONING PARADISE
A DVD BY THE GRAF BOYS
www.thegrafboys.org
Martin Askes, Editor of NZ Outdoor Hunting, in his opening editorial (printed with permission below), echoes the viewpoint of many a New Zealander. In fact at a recent Deer Hunting expedition of thirty men and two women, — grown men were seen to come to tears when they talked about 1080.
“Many people just do not want to know what’s happening, preferring to believe the government department that is responsible for looking after our environment and its plant and animals is doing the best they can, with the limited funds that they have available. This is reinforced when the department has the word ‘conservation’ in its name. Well let me tell you something else!
After watching the new DVD that Clyde and Steve Graf have released, I must admit, I was pretty upset. Others that saw it were wide-eyed in disbelief and some even felt like being sick. What am I talking about?
The DVD starts with a short history on the Graf brothers, how they were bought up in the bush, and their close association with the outdoors and hunting. When you see the detail of their DVD and the huge amount of work that it would have taken to put together you really have to take your hat off to them. When you listen right to the end, you will see that there is no hidden agenda, no donations asked for, nothing. It’s cold, factual, informative and really gripping stuff to watch.
The tape itself has short bursts of contrasting footage that will keep you riveted to the edge of your seat. You’ll hear in disbelief what Forest and Bird and others have to say; you’ll see TV footage that will have you shaking your head in awe.
You’ll see a tourist driving down the road as a helicopter delivers 1080 right overhead, squashing the deadly poison on the road underneath their car tyres!
Walking tracks are seen littered with baits, dead deer on the roadside, dead pigs in rivers, and much, much more.
You will see animals dying of 1080 poison and it’s not a pretty sight. You’ll see dead birds of many types, native birds eating 1080, footage of a weka eating carrot bait and a hawk eating off a carcase then falling from the sky! There is actually footage of freshwater crayfish fighting over 1080 baits!
You’ll see people talk about cover-ups and lies. You’ll hear about false reporting and the hiding of documents. You’ll see scientists warn about what is happening, and lots of them too. They have scientific warnings about what this chemical could do if it entered the water supply, then footage of streams full of the stuff — right in water catchments for drinking!
This documentary has a large proportion that is scientifically based as many experts in their field speak about the devastating effects that 1080 could and does have.
This rural-based DVD is in stark contrast to the western world of electronics and computers. When you are dealing so closely with people’s lives, you would think that our government would err on the side of caution, wouldn’t you?
If you care about the animals and bush in NZ, get a copy of this DVD. Buy an extra one for someone you know and send on to your local MP or newspaper. Think of it as a small donation to support two great guys who have taken years out of their lives to try and help the environment and every one of you!
Do it right now.
All proceeds will go towards the fight to stop aerial 1080 use.”

I totally endorse the above comments. A warning — some content will disturb.
Watch out John Key and your reckless mates — when our tourist industry collapses, when our food exports plummet, when we’re crossed off the world’s invitation to survive list, perhaps then will you know we mean business.
THERE WILL BE OVER 2000 COPIES OF THIS DVD SENT AROUND THE WORLD FOR PUBLIC VIEWING, perhaps then, and only then, will some red-faced, spluttering, lying, crooked, arsehole of a government employee from the Department of Conservation finally have to stand up and take the rap.... or do we wait until a child dies from the stuff?
