Forgive me if this posting isn't proper however does anyone know if VT Audubon is leading the charge on this issue in Vermont? This goes to the heart of an issue we all care about. See below. Lawmakers and advocates, including CT Audubon, gathered in Hartford yesterday at the CT General Assembly Environment Committee’s public hearing to support HB 6915, a bill aimed at restricting second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs)—a major threat to birds of prey like hawks, eagles, and owls. These poisons linger in rodents, unintentionally harming predators that eat them. And to support HB 6916, a bill to restrict the use of neonicotinoids for certain commercial and agricultural applications—neonics can kill birds directly, and they also decimate the insects that birds rely on for food, including caterpillars.
