A new website www.1080science.co.nz highlighting the facts about 1080 poison use in New Zealand is a going to be major obstacle for organisations like the Department of Conservation, Forest & Bird, and the Animal Health Board.

For many years these powerful organisations have had a free reign on the type of information they have conveyed to the public, and officials - unchecked. Now a comprehensive assembly of information is available for those that wish to, and need to be, fully informed about 1080 poison.

The wealth of research talent and analytic experience, coupled with the extensive body of facts included in this new website, is impressive.

It's important to note that these scientists aren't being remunerated for their efforts, there is no payoff or financial reward. Their dedication to highlighting the facts about 1080 poison use is based on genuine concern, and is admirable. Isaac Newton once said - "Plato is my friend - Aristotle is my friend - but my greatest friend is truth. In my opinion, an appropriate quote for those affiliated with this new website.

The www.1080science.co.nz website was designed and developed By Dr Jo Pollard (BSc (Hons), PhD), and is also represented by biomedical research scientist, biophysicist, and author Dr Alexis Peitak (PhD), Dr Quinn Whiting-Okeefe (MD,MA,BA), and Dr Pat Whiting-Okeefe (PhD, BSc).
