Urgent Review of 1080 Poison
This petition calls on the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) to urgently, thoroughly, and transparently reconsider the approval and registration of 1080 poison.
1080 is a chemical used to kill unwanted or unwelcome wildlife. It is one of the most toxic substances known to exist in the world and has been characterised as "homicidal", meaning it is capable of killing humans as well as other animals. No known antidote exists. It is a white, odourless, and tasteless. It is the perfect weapon in the wrong hands.
Despite claims that it is target-specific, it is frequently ingested by and kills non-target species, like companion dogs. It is in the same restricted regulatory schedule as other notorious poisons like arsenic or cyanide.
The APVMA can stop 1080 in its tracks. Join us and demand they do so to save countless lives today.
There is no excuse to continue using a chemical so dangerous and deadly. There is no justification good enough to forgive the trauma endured by the families or the suffering their four-legged family members are forced to experience in their last hours on Earth.
Stand with us today. Australia, it's time: enough is enough.
The APVMA has the legislative power to stop the suffering.
Help ensure others don't suffer tomorrow by demanding an urgent APVMA review today.
Together, we can ban 1080.
