ban the U.S. manufacture and export of 1080 poison that is killing Australia's wildlife and destroying its ecosystem.

Created by J.P. on March 14, 2013

1. 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison is indiscriminate.
-It endangers all wildlife and poisons the environment and people through direct or secondary contact.
-1080 poison baits will cause extinction of the Australian Apex Predator, the dingo, within 20 years.
-It jeopardizes sustainability.

2. 1080 is only manufactured in the US by Tull Chemical Co.
-It is sold to Australia and NZ, the only major countries still using it.

3.1080 threatens national and international security.
-Government reports conclude that Wildlife Services cannot account for stockpiles of the toxin, leaving the hazardous materials vulnerable to undetected theft and unauthorized use.
-It is potentially a chemical of mass destruction and warfare.
-1080 poison has no known antidote.
