Canadians: Please Sign & Share - Stop Rodenticide Use to Protect Wildlife and Pets

Rodenticides are chemical substances used for rodent control, are bioaccumulative, and effect many Species at Risk including hawks and owls; 

Rodenticides pose serious threats to Canada’s wildlife through primary and secondary poisoning of non-target species who naturally feed on rodents such as birds of prey, foxes, coyotes, and snakes;

Rodenticides pose additional risks to children and pets; in Ottawa just last week two dogs were put into emergency care due to consuming the poisons inside the bait boxes. In St John's multiple dogs consumed tainted hot dogs with rat poison.

Chemical rodent control is ineffectual in rodent management, because it fails to address the root cause of intrusion, and counterproductive as it kills predators that would naturally regulate rodent populations;

Recognizing the risks rodenticides pose to human health and the environment, in 2013 Health Canada​ enacted risk mitigation measures for several commercial class rodenticides. However, recent research in​ British Columbia, Ontario, and across Canada, demonstrate that these measures are ineffective. 

Please sign and share petition e- 5320 today to choose prevention over poison!

East River Magnet Fishing FAIL in Freezing 16° Weather

I started a youtube channel focused on ocean conservation. I do that through any activity I can think of. Any support is greatly appreciated. The overall goal is to grow enough to start hosting clean up projects in the NYC area then expand from their. First time attempting to magnet fish. It was a complete disaster from start to finish. Any thoughts, comments or suggestions are appreciated haha. The goal with this was to remove any trash I could in the water vs just shoreline. At the end of the day the only goal is to SAVE, PROTECT AND PRESERVE THE OCEAN!

I volunteer on the weekends to beautify the San Francisco Bay Area. A single volunteer can make a huge difference. [not the OP]
