Predator Defense

Description

"The Natural Resources Defense Council began working with Predator Defense in a coalition to reform the practices of USDA-Wildlife Services in 2008. Predator Defense is a key player in this work, as Brooks Fahy has worked to stop the agencyâ??s indiscriminate lethal predator control for years. He has shared his knowledge and experience in a collaborative effort to eliminate the use of poisons in predator control and to reduce Wildlife Servicesâ?? lethal predator control funding. In particular, Predator Defense has been a leader in bringing attention to the harmful use of highly toxic poisons in wildlife management by working with members of Congress to ban the use of Compound 1080 and sodium cyanide in predator control.

"I have worked with Brooks Fahy and Predator Defense for nearly 20 years and have long been impressed with their ability to provide practical, science-based solutions for living with predators.

Predator Defense is working with Congressman Peter DeFazio’s staff to develop a bill to completely ban M-44’s. Congressman DeFazio is acutely aware of the threat that M-44’s pose to pets, people, and wildlife. We consistently relay personal accounts to him of poisonings that occur across the country.

The Tull Chemical Company in Oxford, Alabama is the only legal producer of Compound 1080 in the U.S. It is a small, family-owned business that has been making this toxin for decades. Most of the Compound 1080 is exported to New Zealand.

Went to Oxford, Alabama where Tull Chemical manufactures one of the deadliest poisons on earth—Compound 1080. This is the only known factory in the world that produces Compound 1080. Photographed facility and made contact with residents living nearby.
