Anything that is associated with Syd just sets off all my BS alarms, I know even a broken clock is right twice a day, but this guy seems to always come down on the wrong side of science and truth.

Here's a little more context from Big Island Video News:

they should use Diphacinone, its very safe.. a Pueo would have to eat 81 pounds of dead rats to get a lethal dose...

ps fwiw, the website Hawaii Reporter is a fear mongering propaganda site.... they over exaggerate everything they write....they go so far as to add plants and insects can be affected lol.. why not the dirt and rocks too?

The one they're using, chlorophacinone, is actually less toxic to birds than diphacinone. Presumably that was one of the considerations.

As usual with Singer, this is all fearmongering nonsense. These rodenticides have been used safely numerous times in various places around the island.
