===========================================
One of their Media releases was on  23/7/98  
1080 POISON- SAFEGUARD YOUR DOGS AND
 LIVESTOCK
" . .there was a case on record in which a dog in a very 
dry area died of 1080 poisoning 5 months after the poison
operation. "For this reason, dog access to poisoned land 
should be delayed beyond 10 weeks, until such time as at

disintegration of carcases and breakdown of the poison. .  ."

" . .Stock deaths occur when air drops have accidentally
 fallen on pasture or . . ."
