Save Concord Wildlife

Raptors, foxes, coyotes, and other predators keep our ecosystems in balance. But rodent poisons—specifically second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs)—harm thousands of these creatures in Massachusetts each year after they eat poisoned rodents. SGARs can also harm children and pets who eat the poison itself. 

URGENT UPDATE May 2026: We need your help to move the bill forward!

From our friends at Mass Audubon:

MA Residents TAKE ACTION: https://bit.ly/CallYourMAReps

“Be the voice for the voiceless. Call your state MA representative by May 19 to request they ask Chair Aaron Michlewitz and the House Ways & Means Committee to strengthen Sections 74 and 75 of the Mass Ready Act by including the language from H5217, which would phase out the use of anticoagulant rodenticides statewide.

We want each of the 160 state representatives to receive at least 10 phone calls from their constituents. Together we have power. Let’s use it to advocate for a ban on anticoagulant rodent poisons across Massachusetts!”
