NewzThe book 'Animal Collateral' by Laura Kiesel examines the impact of rodenticides on wildlife populations. The work highlights how these chemical poisons pose a significant threat to various species, including bald eagles, which had previously recovered from near-extinction following the ban of DDT and other hazardous substances.
Kiesel’s investigation focuses on the role of chemical companies and their lobbying efforts in the continued use of these poisons. The book serves as an exposé on the environmental consequences of current pest control practices and the industry interests that influence their regulation.
