flag Amazon Australia removes harmful rodenticides linked to wildlife and pet deaths.

flag Amazon Australia is removing second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) from its shelves, following growing concerns over their harm to native wildlife like wedge-tailed eagles, quolls, and pets. flag These poisons cause prolonged internal bleeding in rats, increasing the risk of secondary poisoning when predators consume them. flag While banned or restricted in the US, Canada, and the EU, SGARs remain widely available in Australian stores. flag The federal government’s pesticides regulator is reviewing the chemicals, with a decision expected by year’s end. flag Woolworths said it offers alternative pest control methods and urged safe use, while Coles and Bunnings did not comment. flag Environmental advocates welcomed the move as a step toward protecting ecosystems and public safety.
