Petition Text
Petition to the Minister of Health
Whereas:
• Anticoagulant rodenticides are now widely detected in Canadian wildlife, including owls, hawks, foxes, coyotes, and other predators;
• Neurotoxic rodenticides, including bromethalin, pose severe risks to pets and wildlife and have no antidote;
• These poisons cause internal bleeding, neurological damage, prolonged suffering, and widespread secondary poisoning when predators consume contaminated rodents;
• Anticoagulant and neurotoxic rodenticides are also leading causes of accidental pet poisonings in Canada;
• Numerous Canadian municipalities have already restricted or discontinued their use due to unacceptable ecological and animal-welfare impacts; and
• Safer and effective alternatives exist, including exclusion, sanitation, snap traps, dry-ice burrow control, and integrated pest management (IPM).
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Minister of Health to:
1. Direct the Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA) to take immediate action to protect wildlife, pets, and public health from anticoagulant and neurotoxic rodenticides, including bromethalin;
2. Ban the sale and use of anticoagulant and neurotoxic rodenticides for residential, commercial, and government use in Canada;
3. Require the PMRA to implement mandatory reporting of wildlife and domestic-animal poisonings linked to rodenticides;
4. Require that the PMRA mandate non-toxic, prevention-first rodent control methods (IPM) before any rodenticide is considered; and
5. Launch an immediate Special Review through the PMRA under Section 17 of the Pest Control Products Act to assess the ecological and public-health risks posed by anticoagulant and neurotoxic rodenticides.
