Poisoning native Australian predators in the name of rodent control
"Secondary poisoning is not an accidental or a misuse scenario. It is a highly predictable outcome of allowing the use of poisons in our ecosystems that accumulate in the body."
"Australia will continue using rodenticides that cause the greatest harm, Many native animals will continue to die slow and painful deaths." >>

So many raptor deaths in the Arlington, MA area in such a short time. Heartbreaking.

"Given that a single owl can kill upward of 1,000 rodents a year, when owls succumb to SGARs poisoning, a hyper-effective natural pest-control predator is eliminated along with the rats."
I'm so glad to see @BostonGlobe is taking on these horrible rodenticides. It sure would be nice for the New England Pest Management Association to propose safer solutions instead of digging their heels into the status quo. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/07/03/opinion/rat-poison-sgar-bald-eagles-owls
