Op-Ed: The Dept. of Fish and Wildlife found that 63 out of 68 dead mountain lions had second-generation poisons in their systems. The tally of poisoned wildlife includes eagles, great-horned owls, coyotes, bobcats and the endangered San Joaquin kit fox.
National Park Service researchers discovered a litter of four mountain lion kittens in a remote area of the Santa Monica Mountains in Aug. 2018.
Numerous chemical pesticides are used to kill rats, the most toxic and fastest-acting being second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides. A rat ingests this type of chemical and bleeds to death. One helping of the poison is enough to kill it, but the toxin lives on for months. So there lies the rat, dead, or dying and lethargic, easy prey for numerous predators and scavengers. The animal that ingests the rat then dies from the poison that’s still in its system.
