Rat poisons don't just poison rodents: They also poison the animals that eat rodents and continue down the food chain.
Some of California’s most iconic species — mountain lions, California condors, San Joaquin kit foxes — suffer from these poisons and can face decreased immune systems, internal bleeding and even death.
So the Center and raptorsarethesolution are co-sponsoring new legislation in California — Assembly Bill 2552 aka the Poison-Free Wildlife Act. The bill seeks to expand restrictions on toxic rat poisons and allow community members to bring legal action against their illegal use and sale.
Safer alternatives to address rodent infestations exist. It's time we start using them to better protect people, pets and wildlife.
