This is the first qualitive study to give voice to people whose dogs have been harmed by 1080.
A Deakin University team - comprised of Dr Adam Cardilini, Dr Alexa Hayley and Associate Professor Bill Borrie - interviewed seven people about their dogs’ deaths from 1080 poisoning to understand its impact on dog guardians and their relationships with other animals.
The participants shared uniquely personal stories, yet strikingly all identified the experience of watching their dog die from 1080 poisoning as ‘horrendous’ and ‘horrifying’.
There is no specific antidote for 1080 poisoning, however veterinary treatments can assist in your dog’s survival.

Yes, I don’t remember upvotes or downvotes in forums and there was no trouble figuring out what was worth reading or not. I can see the use of it for sorting algorithms but I don’t even think it needs to be visible for that.
I don’t downvote or use the car horn on the road. There is something wrong with me obviously.

If you watch Daahcams Aus, I think a lot of crashes happen because people are preoccupied in attempting to use the horn rather than not crashing!

It’s funny you say that, but a lot of times it’s after the idiot has already gone that I actually think about hitting the horn. And then it’s “Well, there’s no point now and it’s only gonna be distracting to other drivers who aren’t asshats…”
It’s often I think I could have been that idiot (since driving mistakes are easy to make) and how would I feel being beeped for something I was clearly aware of. Doesn’t solve the issue or prevent it from happening. The fact so many of us are on the road driving these killers is ridiculous, we could have had 60 years of public transport development instead and been way better off in nearly aspect; from tyre microplastics, to fuel consumption, to road maintenance costs.
The only time the beep is necessary I believe is when someone is about to back or merge into you. A clear goal of prevention.
