[QUOTE="merryeclipse, post: 55781, member: 2377"] Didn't read all the posts so I hope I am not repeating anything. On the farm we have the paddocks that are baited with 1080 clearly sign posted at the gate entries, even paddocks where no public access is allowed. The signs are large and red and give contact details of the person who lays the baits. We also check them to see how many are gone etc. We baited 86 a couple of years ago and all were gone, there are a lot of foxes in this area. The year before that we lost over 100 lambs to foxes that just kill them and leave the remains, so kill them for fun, it's terrible. In these times I don't take Max (my pup) out with me to those paddocks at all as dogs die pretty much as quick as the foxes sometimes, which is not long. Sometimes you will even find foxes near the bait or on the dirt roads in the middle of them. If taking a pup always have them tied up but remember people put baits under scrub and other places where foxes would go and dogs would sniff and urinate so it is never a safe bet. We bait correctly, that doesn't mean everyone does. The farm has lost a dog to baiting as National Parks baited an area close by, didn't tell anyone or sign post it :( Merry [/QUOTE]
