The quote that grabbed me was this: Generally it will take about two minutes for a blood sample to clot inside a collection vial, but in this case it took over an hour. Imagine the sub-lethal effect on all predators of even small amounts of rodenticide ingested. The truth is that we have no idea how many wildlife deaths attributed to other causes are actually rooted in rat poison: windowkills, roadkills, lethargic hawks, foxes, wild cats, skunks, owls…the list goes on.
