Chris Short, 50, from Taupo, New Zealand is an anti-1080 protester. He's got cancer and has only weeks to live.
He decided to make his last stand by climbing our iconic mountain and going to die there unless a major TV channel shows a locally made documentary on 1080.

Basically, the government dumps tons of 1080 on NZ bush to kill rats and possums. They also kill deer, pigs, birds, anything that is hungry enough to eat the bait.
Flick your message to this TV channel if you support the cause and ask them to screen the doco.
