Rat Poison Is Harming D.C. Wildlife

A new report from City Wildlife found that more than 85% of animals tested in Washington, D.C. had rat poison in their bodies. These animals include squirrels, foxes, owls, hawks, and opossums. This poison can make animals very sick or even kill them.

Why Rat Poison Is So Dangerous

Rat poison, also called rodenticide, is used to kill rats and mice. But it also hurts other animals when they eat poisoned rodents or come in contact with the poison. Here is what makes it dangerous:

• Predators like hawks and foxes eat poisoned rats and get sick.

• Pets and children can also be hurt by poison left around the house.

• Some poisons stay in an animal’s body for months and cause slow, painful damage.
