This poison is chemically stable. That means that a decade from now, the ground it is spilled on is toxic. It has the ability to kill x-potentially. Thank you to North American Wolf Association for this scenario. ADC represents an immense drain of taxpayer dollars to cover the losses of very few citizens.
Ranchers suffering livestock losses graze their animals on publicly owned land at very cheap rates.
Thus, American taxpayers are subsidizing grazing for ranchers who demand that they further subsidize, at enormous cost, the destruction of predators killing relatively small numbers of their livestock. This corporate welfare ignores the suffering of ADC's victims and the vital ecological role that species play in their habitats. Every year, ADC kills tens of thousands of coyotes, and many bears, mountain lions, bobcats, wolves and other predators . ADC also kills animals for eating flowers and pet food, digging in gardens, frightening people, and other concerns that could easily be addressed by nonviolent methods. Compound 1080 is a highly toxic, slow-acting poison that causes immense suffering in its victims.
