Here is a link to a lawsuit here in Las Vegas. This story was done a few years ago, yet the health risk to local residents still remains. 8NewsNow
Youtube Video of Avitrol use in NJ
Las Vegas, Nevada citizens DEMAND for restrictions of Pigeon Poison AVITROL. Pigeon Poison Control Deterrent AVITROL is being used in residential areas without notice to residents. Avitrol use has side effects including secondary ingestion of endangered animals and domestic pets. In addition to psychological side effects. Our group is DEMANDING notice of AVITROL use within a 5 mile radius of baiting n order to prepare families for possible health risk and psychological side effects.
Our petition above will demand written notice prior to AVITROL use in NEVADA Residential ares. Birds poisoned with AVITROl can travel miles before falling from the sky and posing a physical and psychological hazard to citizens. Secondary ingestion is also a risk, therefore we demand prior notice to keep domestic animals and children indoors. Endangered birds of prey are also at risk. If suspension of voluntary or involuntary poisoning of endangered animals please contact your local FISH & WILDLIFE office.
