Part 2 of the 1080 Summit focuses on the poisons impact on dingos. Australia and New Zealand use almost 95% of the world's supply of 1080. It is rated a category 1 poison by the WHO - their most toxic category, with no known antidote. Many farmers also lose working dogs to this poison. Animal welfare groups around the world, the RSPCA, PETA, Humane Society International, Predator Defense Network all state 1080 is cruel and inhuman.
