Conservation advocates oppose plan to carpet bomb picturesque Farallon Islands with “super-toxic rat poison”
12/27/2021 / By Matthew Davis
Primatologist and conservationist Jane Goodall and Ocean Foundation senior fellow Richard Charter opposed the plan to carpet bomb Farallon Islands in an unprecedented effort to control the mouse population.
Goodall said dropping “super-toxic rat poison” will “inflict pain and suffering on a great many sentient animals.”
The picturesque, rocky islands are home to seabirds, seals and sea lions. There are no human dwellers in the islands, which are about 27 miles off the coast of San Francisco. The plan got the go-ahead after the California Coastal Commission (CCC) on Dec. 16 voted 5-3 in favor of the carpet bombing.
