Ban Deadly Pesticides that Kill Wildlife
Target: U.S. House of Representatives
Sponsored by: Care2
Sponsored by: Care2
Compound 1080 and sodium cyanide are deadly poisons that are currently used to kill predators. These poisons are indiscriminate, cause extreme suffering before death, and threaten endangered species, pets, children, and anyone who happens to come in contact with them.
Compound 1080 is one of the most deadly poisons in the world. It is highly toxic in small doses and is deadly to humans, wildlife and pets, and there is no known antidote. The EPA banned compound 1080 in 1972, but intense lobbying by the livestock industry led to its re-approval for use in predator control programs in 1985.
It's time for our government to approach wildlife management in a humane and intelligent way. There is no need to use deadly poisons to "control" predators. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) has introduced legislation to ban these toxic chemicals - please urge your representative in Congress to support H.B. 4775, the Compound 1080 and M-44 Elimination Act, today!

Even the manufactures don't know all the side effects, if they would ever tell. It was seeing simple farmers using complicated chemicals and hurting their land and families unknowingly that turned me into a believer in natural organic foods. Michael Mc Kinney

Why are we trying to resurrect a deadly compound that was banned over 30 years ago. We are a nation of progress and shouldn't stoop to this. We should have the technology to take care of this situation without being inhumane.
