STRYCHNINE POISON - PRODUCT UP FOR RENEWAL IN ALBERTA ON DECEMBER 31, 2017.
Despite being condemned internationally and banned in many countries, toxicants like strychnine and compound 1080 are still being used by the Alberta government on wolves, coyotes, and bears. The use of poisons has been widely criticized by scientists and by the general public as they
are inhumane, they are non selective, and they are in contravention of animal welfare guidelines. The agonizing death and frightening capacity to kill organisms in large numbers, places the use of poison in violation of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Wolf Manifesto and goes against the guidelines set out by the Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC). The wildlife services and government use of poison has been long term, despite being dangerous and inhumane, as it is inexpensive and easy to use. The use of strychnine to control predator populations is biologically and ethically unacceptable and it is time that the Alberta government ban these dangerous toxins as other places have done.
Currently, Strychnine is coming up for renewal in Alberta and we have a chance to speak up and tell our elected officials that this poison needs to be banned.
