"The Australian authority that regulates pesticides has finally released its
long-delayed review of the rodenticide poisons used by millions of Australians
to combat rat and mice infestations.
As researchers who study Australia’s amazing native owls (and more recently,
the rodenticide poisoning of wildlife), we were extremely hopeful about its
findings. We thought this review would make world-leading recommendations that
would protect wildlife and set the global standard for regulating these toxic
compounds.
Instead, the recommendations from the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary
Medicines Authority (APVMA) leave Australians still reliant on rodent poisons
that are responsible for most of the documented impacts on wildlife globally."
