Poisoning is allowed in some places. Plus coons like rat poison -- ?
Really? As in "sanctioned", or "folks sorta look the other way type of allowed"? Where? And, which poisons are legit for targeting critters besides rodents (nutria, gophers, mice, rats) and livestock-predating canines. Zinc phosphide, sodium fluoroacetate/1080, strychnine, sodium cyanide?
I worked for an ag-chem manufacturer many years ago (remember Bopal, India?). Anyway, in the mid-80s, a Texas rancher illegally used one of our granular ag-insecticides to target lamb-killing coyotes. The rancher laced a lamb-carcass with the product and left it as carrion for anything that came along (others have done the same with water melons). Little did the rancher realize that bald eagles will scavenge - just like buzzards. I think that rancher is still wearing striped-apparel; after two eagles, a dozen buzzards and various other critters met their demise. Federal LEAs were heavily involved.
