I live in New ZEaland neighbour ... We have a potential one in Taupo but that is not the whole nation.

We sometimes eat wild pig off my dad's farm, I'm thinking it's not botulism. Still wondering why it takes do long foe the test results .
In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18-36 hours after eating a contaminated food, but they can occur as early as six hours or as late as 10 days afterward.

Actually the 1080 is more for rabbits rats and possums than wild pigs. But any invasive mammal not well controlled is a target for 1080 . There are On my way! Cyanide based poisons used too ... Though that's fairly easy to detect.
