Time can heal a lot of things, yet I cry every time I watch this video one of my best friend's made for me. Jarrah was taken before her time by unmarked 1080 Bait a couple years ago, but only now do I have the courage to share this with you.

What a beautiful tribute, and a sweet, sweet pup.

Thank you so much for sharing this, I am sure everyone who watches it will smile AND cry, just as I did.

A truly wonderful tribute to a beautiful fur child.

Don't wish to ignore you or your post---My computer doesn't allow me in to most videos (and I'm not that 'smart' about the workings of a computer) so I didn't get to see it but I can feel how you must feel about the loss. Sorry to hear of your loss.

Since I can't see the videos, Can you tell me what kind of dog this is?

[CorkyMax]

Just went back and reread your other posts on Jazz. Did you ever think that maybe Jarrah made it possible for you to meet up with Jazz so you could help this poor baby out. Two other members in here are of the belief that this type of thing can happen! (happenings with their dogs) and according to the Pet Psychic-Sonya Fitzpatrick it does happen! (She use to be on Animal Planet--Don't know if she still is---The book I have by her is called 'What the Animals Tell me' and my book was printed in '03. You could put her name or name of book in your browser--Might bring up some info if you are interested.) Another reason a departed dog will do this is to watch over you and try to help you get over the grief of losing them!

[CorkyMax]

Just put Sonya Fitzpatrick in my browser. This is one link that sells this book (Used-from 01 cent up): Amazon.com: Sonya Fitzpatrick, the Pet Psychic: What the Animals Tell Me (9780425192900): Sonya Fitzpatrick: Books Course you could get it from your library too. There are many other site to click on when you put her name in your browser too!

Could someone please explain what unmarked 1080 bait is?

DECC | 1080 bait user guidance fact sheet This is a description of 1080 bait from this last site:

What is 1080?

1080 (pronounced ten-eighty) is the common name given to the poison sodium fluoroacetate that is used as a vertebrate pesticide in NSW to control specific pest animals: wild dogs; foxes; feral pigs and rabbits. All 1080 pesticide products including 1080 baits are classified as restricted pesticides and as such can only be used in accordance with directions given in a PCO. 1080 pesticides include liquid concentrate products and ready to use bait products.


Only an Authorised Control Officer can use 1080 liquid concentrate products. Authorised Control Officers are persons who have undergone specific training and received accreditation in the preparation and use of vertebrate poisons such as 1080 and must be employed by a Livestock Health and Pest Authority (formerly Rural Lands Protection Board), Wild Dog Destruction Board or a NSW public authority. The 1080 PCO provides details of training requirements for such officers.


Pest animals are a threat to agriculture and forestry (for further information see Vertebrate pests | NSW Department of Primary Industries) and to native plants and animals DECC | Pest and weed management in NSW national parks


Use of 1080 baits may pose certain risks to the environment, wildlife and domestic animals. The 1080 PCO is aimed at minimising such risks by requiring users to take necessary precautions when using 1080 products.


What rules do I need to comply with if I use 1080 in NSW?

From 10 October 2008 you need to comply with Pesticide Control (1080 Liquid Concentrate and Bait Products) Order 2008 when using 1080 baits. This Order:

Authorises the use of all 1080 pesticide products in NSW for specific pest animals.
Defines who can use 1080.
Replaces existing PCOs relating to 1080 use for pest animal control.
Set conditions on how 1080 can be used and where.
Set requirements for recovery and disposal of 1080 baits, containers and animal carcasses.
Make provision for the use and labelling of unregistered 1080 bait material.
This PCO has four schedules that set out in detail the conditions on use of all 1080 pesticide products. The schedules relate to the control of wild dogs, foxes, feral pigs and rabbits respectively.


An electronic copy of Pesticide Control (1080 Liquid Concentrate and Bait Products) Order 2008 is available on DECCW's pesticide control order webpage.


There is much more info about using this from the site I gave just above if you want to check out more on it.

That is outrageous! What a terrible way for that lovely dog to die.

It was a terrible way to go. 1080 bait makes an animal's heart rate sky rocket, pumping so much adrenalin into their tiny bodies that the only way they can expel it is to run like mad, round and round in circles, in my case, around the backyard. They go and go and scream. Then once you finally catch them they just stop. You don't get a chance to say goodbye. Its horrific.

Thank you all. And maybe Jazz has been sent ... who knows.

[Lara's mom]

I'm so very sorry. I can't even begin to imagine what that must have been like for you.

I am just horrified that people are allowed to use poison in such a careless way. Not only is it a terrible danger to companion animals but, it has the potential to cause carnage throughout the food chain.

If a mouse or rabbit were to ingest the poison, the bird of prey or any other animal that came across it and decided to eat the poisoned one would also die from the poison. As bad as that is, it doesn't even begin to address the terrible way in which these poor creatures die as a result of being poisoned.

Is there some movement underway by companion animal owners and animal lovers in general to ban the use of this dreadful substance? If it happened to you, you can be sure that there are other pet parents out there who have also lost their fur kids to this dreadful poison.

[CA-Jazz]

There is a movement ... well kinda. Its not going anywhere I think, apparently its the most 'effective' form of 'population control' even when there are a lot of humane, alternate practices.

There is one sight, that was posted on here just before...

I wish it was banned, so many domestic animals suffer the slow and horrific death Jarrah went through. It really isn't fair. Once they show signs, the inevitable can't be avoided.
