Following widespread public outcry over the revelation that sea eagles in Britain were being poisoned by toxic rat poisons, a Wales-based research group has called on the Senedd’s Environment Committee to push for tighter restrictions on the use of poisons which go on to enter the food chain.

Wildlife Poisoning Research UK (WPRUK) investigates the illegal and secondary poisoning of wild birds and animals in England and Wales.

WPRUK argue that currently anyone can go into a shop or use the internet to buy amateur use poisons with no questions asked, no training required and no need to follow any safety codes. There is also a complete lack of any meaningful investigation scheme when these poisons kill wildlife.
