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!

Please, stop the killing! Stop the madness! Indiscriminate killing of wildlife makes no sense. I would hate to see the wolf or bear or any species go the way of the dodo. What a tragedy! And we can prevent it from happening again, if we act right now.

This poison should have been banned years ago! Why is it still being used? It is a disgrace and a danger to animals, and humans alike! There must be more humane ways to control wild animals, than something that is going to have an impact on MOTHER EARTH, for centuries to come!!

Please help stop further damage to the environment by opposing the unnecessary use of toxic pesticides. Think of the future generations, including your own children.

this is so horrible. What a terrible way to die. Not only is this imhuman these chemicals accidentally kill pets and can harm anyone that comes into contact or indirectly from an animal that has injested these chemicals. They can leak into the ground and who knows what else.
