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.

    We are the same then, I don’t use the horn either. Only for warning people about an impending crash and even then I’m usually too preoccupied with not crashing lol

        Watching that channel regularly made me a much more cautious and alert driver. I don’t trust anyone anymore lol

        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…”
