Did the 1080 kill off all the Santas leaving a wily critter in their stead?

I just have to say it, what a gorgeous creature Pippa is. Eddie I just don’t know how you can part with them after building such a bond. No one could possibly know a fox the way you know a fox!

Oh Pippa, thank you for your good wishes, looking forward to seeing your dad when he comes to Tassie. Pippa you are a beautiful girl,

What a beautiful animal, congratulations Eddie the “fox whisperer”.
No wonder this government didn’t want you down here in Tasmania…they are afraid you would have told them something that they do not have the decency or spine to admit.

Maybe some humans just hate foxes because they are smarter than they are themselves?

Mother Nature, the wisest one of all - let this animal evolve for a reason.
Why do some Australians hate them so much?
And before all the usual aplogists start let’s look at the facts, foxes have co-habitated with man for thousands of years and despite the Australian (and NZ) way to carpet bomb them with 1080 -  there are more foxes in Australia than ever.

At the end of the day my conscience tells me that no animal deserves to die from 1080, we as humans do not have that right…end of story.
But… I too, do not want to see foxes ever become established in Tasmania, however the current program is the work of naive, money orientated fools.
There are other ways…maybe a funded junket trip to Europe and the UK may educate the so-called wise ones?

While this is just an excuse for the Fox Farce to keep the 1080 cycle hence cash flow running, I can not see how using the precautionary principle in any way justifies it. It seems plain ludicrous to me. In all these years not to have a solitary scrap of evidence that can be held up as positive for the existence of a fox population in Tasmania is unbelievable. For Gods Sake bring Eddie over here and shine some light down that dark hole of theirs!
