Don’t Torture and Asphyxiate Wildlife With Cruel Poisons

Target: Murray Watt, Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry, Australia

Goal: Advocate for the ban of strychnine and other cruel poisons for wildlife control to protect Australia’s wildlife and ecosystem.

Strychnine and other poisons are commonly used for wildlife control in Australia, causing immense suffering to animals and disrupting the natural ecosystem. These cruel poisons are indiscriminate, killing not only the target animals but also other wildlife, including native and endangered species.

Strychnine poisoning is a particularly cruel method of wildlife control, causing extreme suffering to animals. This poison leads to seizures, muscle stiffness, and ultimately death by asphyxiation. Additionally, the use of strychnine and other poisons can have long-lasting effects on the environment, affecting not only the targeted animals but also other wildlife, including predators and scavengers.

Immediate action is necessary to prohibit the use of strychnine and other inhumane poisons for wildlife control. This will help to preserve Australia’s natural ecosystem and protect wildlife. Alternative techniques, such as trapping and translocation, should be promoted and employed.

Through the ban of strychnine and other cruel poisons, we can significantly reduce the suffering of animals and protect the balance of our ecosystem. Demand action immediately.

PETITION LETTER:

Dear Mr. Watt,

I am writing to urge you to advocate for the ban of strychnine and other cruel poisons for wildlife control in Australia. The use of these poisons poses a serious threat to Australia’s wildlife and natural ecosystem, and we must take immediate action to address this issue.

The use of strychnine and other poisons is particularly cruel, causing immense suffering to animals. This poison leads to seizures, muscle stiffness, and ultimately death by asphyxiation. In addition to causing suffering to targeted animals, these poisons can have long-lasting effects on the environment, affecting not only the targeted animals but also other wildlife, including predators and scavengers.

To address this issue, we urge you to ban the use of strychnine and other cruel poisons and implement alternative methods of wildlife control, such as trapping and relocation. This will help to protect Australia’s wildlife and preserve the natural ecosystem.

Sincerely,

[Your Name Here]
