Wild animals can be a problem for you when you maintian your yard, especially if you are trying to grow crops! Your neighbors most likely have the same problem you do. But poison impacts more than just the rabbits and deer that come to your property. There are better ways!

As someone who had to bury both my dogs in an eight day timespan, I speak from experience when I say I don't want my neighbors spraying poison in their yard. I live in a residential area, not an agricultural one, meaning none of my neighbors rely on crops as their source of income.

Personally, I do not know the laws of every state in America, but there seems to be a common consensus that poisoning wildlife is illegal.

This website has two goals:

  1. Inform people to not use poison to handle wildlife. Ignorance is not above the law and poison is a dangerous way to eliminate the problems.

  2. Encourage a call to action! If you know someone is using poison in their yard, file a police report! What if a child ends up getting exposed? Families do not deserve losing members, and you don't deserve the self-loathing of wishing you acted sooner.

Poison and Wildlife

If poison kills wildlife, it kills pets.

There are better and safer ways to handle wildlife pests to protect your residential crops and foundation.

No one deserves a neighbor who poisons pets.
