Petition background

The Chicago budget season is upon us. There is a boatload of money budgeted for rodenticide. These have been the key to Chicago’s rat-fighting efforts - and they don’t work. Chicago was just named the rattiest city in the country -again!!

Rodenticide kills birds. The two owls pictured plus a third - Lincoln Park’s owl family that was seen and loved by so many this year - all were killed by rodenticide this summer. So was Flaco, NYC’s beloved owl. Their prey is full of toxic rodenticide.

Read about a sensible position and the research it is based on here.
