I need help in how to report abuse of wildlife, please. Would anyone who knows how to do this give ONLY a >

Question

Serious answer to this???

Please, the condo complex where I live puts pellets down in the spring supposedly to kill the field mice which come out of the forest behind the houses.I was highly suspect of why the wildlife decreased radically, or looked sick an maimed for weeks afterwards.I took a few pellets and had them tested by a biochemist.It is a derivative of rat poison, when the condo association said it was not,I was taken in front of the Board and given a severe warning, which of course I told them I'd ignore whether they'd fine me or not.

Now, does anyone know what steps IT must take to report this in a legal manner to the WildLife Commission to have them answer for what is being insidiously done?No neighbour wants to help me, because as so many people they care about nothing but their selfish selves, not the critters.Any helpful advice as to whom to contact, what to actively do to save the poor critters around here?They do NO one harm! I'd appreciate this! Thank U so!!! Grecia.

Answer 1

I'd call the health department and tell them about the poison being casually left where all animals can get at it, not just the rodents they want to get rid of. And associations can be some of the most Hitlerian organizations there are. Some tool gets elected to a board and they think they're God. Keep up the fight. Complain to the health department, Department of natural resources, PETA, heck call the police at the non emergency number and ask their opinion.

Answer 2

Call your locat US Fish and Wildlfie Service..there are laws against putting poison out where it is uncontrolled and basically any wildlife can eat it.  Yes, children are at risk as well.  Also if ANY bird eats it, it is a violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act..they can be fined and do jail time for each individual bird they kill.

Answer 3

I think PETA would jump all over this.

Answer 4

Are there any children in the condos? Can this poison be accessed by children from other parts of the neighborhood? If yes to either question you might get a more serious response from the city agencies.

Answer 5

As a homeowner I would not want mice, but I appreciate your passion, therefore  I would say start with the Humane Society or the Dept of Natural Resources...ask them for advice and they should be able to direct you.  If you want to contact an attorney it will cost you money but you could pose it as a danger to children who may put the poisonous pellets in their mouth, etc.  If you frame the issue as a human concern you may get farther.  People are selfish and care about themselves first...pose the issue that way and you will have better success.  Good luck.

Answer 6

There are several agencies that can help you. First you should try DNR, Animal Control and other government agencies. If that does nothing, then you can get a hold of one of those tree-hugging, hippie groups like peta.

Answer 7

You can call the fish and game dept
