If D Maisey wishes to read 'misinformation and blatant lies” about 1080 use, he should read his own letter to The Weekend Sun (March 8).

If, on the other hand, he cares to read the truth about 1080 use, he should read Dave Hansford's book ‘Protecting Paradise'.

If he is really concerned about the use of poisonous substances he should take it up with the pharmaceutical companies who use many such substances (to benefit mankind!), the use of food preservatives and also the alcohol industry.

And, of course, he should never drink tea which contains a trace of 1080 in every cupful.

E Orsulich, Otumoetai.
