Thank Audubon Society for Suspending Author that Advocated Cat Poisoning
- by: Animal Advocates
- recipient: Audubon CEO David Yarnold, Chairman B. Holt Thrasher
The National Audubon Society suspended freelance writer Ted Williams for publishing an article in the Orlando Sentinel- to advocate that citizens get rid of cats by poisoning them with a common over-the-counter medication.
Ted Williams is a conservationist who has written for Audubon for 33 years. Audubon magazine has suspended his work and will remove him as "Editor at Large". The Orlando Sentinel newspaper has edited the artilcle because of Mr. Williams' stated affiliation with Audubon.
The National Audubon Society states backyard poisoning isn't the answer and we want to make it absolutely clear they don't support that idea.
Thank the The National Audubon Society for suspending this writer and for rejecting the idea of people taking matters into their own hands in ways that can harm neighbors’ pets – or any cats.
