The use of First and Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides is pervasive in Vermont, leading to untold numbers of non-targeted animals like owls, hawks, bobcats, fisher and other wildlife being poisoned. 100% of fisher recently sampled iby Vermont Fish & Wildlife tested positive for rodenticide poisoning. The Agency of Agriculture has done little to address this massive threat.
As a birding community, we have the power to urge the government to take this issue seriously. If you are interested in getting involved, please email me.
