What does this mean?
"And hunters say an aerial drop of 1080 pellets to poison TB-infected
possums last year decimated 90% of the deer to the north of the Blue Mountains
in west Otago."
If it decimated 90% of them, then it killed 10% of 90%
of them. In other words it killed 9% of them.
SO WHAT, a 9% mortality is trivial amongst other impacts,
unless it happens repeatedly.
What has Luther to do with anything?

Earlier this month, a plan by the Wellington Regional Council to carry
out a 1080 drop angered residents in Upper Hutt.
Local 1080 opponents say 29 dogs died of 1080 poisoning in the last
aerial drop in 1998.
