Warning "Just Another Day In WA"

On the granite woodland trail between Hyden and Norseman gravel road.

According to this sign the use of steel traps laced with strychnine and the warning that 1080 is dangerous to humans something i have known for a while.

 Yes, crulity to animals does not apply to those that hide behind the banner of government departments.

I have lived in WA since 1998 first time i felt happy to see it disappear in the rear view mirror. Spent years living and working on the land have managed properties of nearly a million acres used all sorts of control mechanisms for so called feral animals, have changed my mind on practises a lot over the years but struggle to think that barbaric practises like this still occur the primary industry and government departments do themselves no favours by doing this especially when it is spread near the transit routes of visitors huge home goal in my view.

This is just as cruel as live baiting in the greyhound industry, yet it is done by a government department? So wrong.

 I'm horrified that the powers that be still allow the use of 1080..................... farmers think it's good stuff but I damn well don't!

Absolutely appalled that they are still using those things. Thought they were outlawed years ago.
