From: Dianne Maxwell

Dear Eugenie Sage,
On 12 September 2018, in parliamentary questions, order 21285, put by Dr Shane Reti, you were asked "What are the numbers of native animals and domestic pets that have been killed as a side effect from 1080 drops in the past 10 years in New Zealand, if any?"

You stated that the exact numbers are unknown. I would like to know what numbers you do have recorded; could you please provide me the following information:

- How many domestic animals have been killed in areas where aerial 1080 drops have occurred in the past 20 years; please list the animal type, the area it occurred and the date. This is to include pets, farm animals, and others.
- How many native birds and other species have been killed in areas where aerial 1080 drops have occurred in the past 20 years; please list the species name, the area it occurred and the date.

Nga mihi
