Oppose sale of rat and mouse poisons that harm children, pets, and wildlife

Political StatementsEnvironment

In Plain English

The city wants to take a formal stance against certain toxic rodent poisons sold in Richmond. These poisons can accidentally poison children who find them, kill pets that eat poisoned rats, and harm wildlife like hawks and owls. The resolution does not ban these products but asks stores to stop selling the most dangerous types.
