Protest against poison bait

Issue 


HOBART — On February 12, forest activists showed what they think of Premier Jim Bacon allowing Forestry Tasmania to use carrots laced with 1080 poison as bait to kill native animals. The poison causes a painful death, and is not monitored for impact on the waterways and food chain. The graphic image features a real carcass.
