Hi everyone - We have had some recent wins but much more work needs to be done. 

Amazon Australia has recently pulled its deadly SGAR products from the shelves. This is fantastic news and it shows public pressure and hard work from NGO’s eventually pays off. 

In other news, the recent rodenticide review conducted by the chemical regulators, the APVMA, has been found to be grossly inadequate.

In 2023, John White, an associate professor of wildlife and conservation biology at Deakin University, worked with a team of researchers that studied rat poison in dead tawny frogmouths and owls, and found that 95% of frogmouths had rodenticides in their livers and 68% of frogmouths tested had liver rodenticide levels consistent with causing death or significant toxicological impacts.

Why then, has the APVMA’s rodenticide review found that baits sold as waxes, pellets and blocks could continue to be sold to consumers completely unrestricted with mere changes to labelling and conditions of use?  

This is highly distressing. It’s clear the Australian government has no interest in anything but profits - The APVMA are paid by the very industries they are supposed to regulate - Blatant corruption at its finest.  

PLEASE, help us keep this petition going. Keep it circulating, keep sharing it, keep spreading the word about the dangers of SGAR rat baits to our pets and wildlife. Nature needs us more than ever.
