Deakin researchers reveal 1080 poison risk for pet dogs.

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.

      Just had a quick read of the dingo wikipedia article because I was under the impression that we didn’t have many pure dingos left. Apparently we do.

      only benefits animal agriculture.

      That is entirely the point. I’m not sure what you thought it was? Dingos aren’t an endangered species and are even a declared pest in some areas.

      In 2018, the IUCN regarded the dingo as a feral dog and discarded it from the Red List

      Even conservationist regard it as a feral species.
