Open Ban the sale and use of rat poison due to the negative impact on wildlife

Created by Lauren Tupling
Closes on

The Rodenticide Stewardship Scheme (RSS) was created in 2015 to reduce wildlife being exposed to toxic anticoagulant rodenticides. Exposure has unfortunately risen, as these poisons are found in our water, birds and fish. We need urgent regulatory change to ban these products.

The negative impact on wildlife of rodenticide use has been documented in research and publications by British Wildlife, Wild Justice, Springer Nature Link, Wildlife Poisoning Research UK and the RSPCA.
