Raptors across England are being killed by the widespread misuse of rat poisons and the problem is getting worse, in spite of a UK government prevention scheme, according to a report from Wild Justice, a not-for-profit environmental group.

“The degree of harm that the misuse of rodenticides is causing to our wildlife is incredibly worrying,” says broadcaster Chris Packham, co-director of Wild Justice. “The voluntary code of practice is utterly useless – it’s just not working.”
