Recorded sources
7 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Rodenticides cause secondary poisoning in wildlife?

Yes. Multiple peer-reviewed reviews and reference sources state that rodenticides, especially anticoagulants, cause secondary poisoning in non-target predatory and scavenging wildlife. One source notes bromethalin is not thought to cause secondary poisoning, a compound-specific exception.
