Question:
Please tell people about the dangers of killing mice and moles with poison. You know, the kind that you buy at the grocery store.If that critter doesn't die right away and gets out of your home, any other animal could catch it and die from eating it. In fact, your own pet could end up eating it.I catch the critters and take them outside. Then I put it and a slice of bread under the woodshed.

Answer:
Thanks for the reminder! Any dog or cat outdoors that eats a poisoned rodent or the poisonous bait could die. The most common poison is an anticoagulant that causes internal bleeding -- a slow and horrible way to die.Just like their political preferences and religious prejudices, people continue to shock me with their callous indifference toward fellow creatures and the natural world.
