Ban on over the counter rat poison

The Issue

Every year we see far too many wild animals being victim of secondary poisoning which is caused by eating small rodents killed by rat poison. To help reduce this risk to not only wild animals but also domestic animals we would like to see these poisons restricted to only those within pest control. Secondary poisoning is a slow and painful death to those involved and is completely avoidable but with the products being on general sale to the public and being used by novices often cutting corners it will never reduce.
