[QUOTE="snafu, post: 79553, member: 1252"] The main problem with aerial baiting is the baits could end up anywhere. A few years back I arrived in Laverton WA 2 days after 8 tonne of 1080 baits had been dropped around the perimeter of the town. The local cops were advising all dog owners in the caravan park to keep your dog shut in your van because crows were notorious for picking up baits outside of town and flying back to their favourite tree in the park. A crow is a pretty smart bird and realised that something just wasn't quite right with the meaty morsel and dropped them where they were easily found by a travellers dog. After seeing a few dogs succumb to 1080 over the years and knowing that my kelpie is a full blown scrounger, I invested in a quality muzzle for her. Jeff [/QUOTE]
