And to further celebrate, "Bunnings – which stocks the widest range of SGARs rodenticides of any major Australian retailer – has announced it will remove these products from its shelves... by 30 June 2026. This is 9 months ahead of the regulator deadline for a recommended full retail ban of the wildlife-killing poisons.  🦉 🦅 🥳

Congrats, Aussies! It sounds like the battle isn't over yet over SGARs, but it's an awesome start!

You guys have some of my favorite owls anywhere in the world, so hopefully some numbers can soon start trending upward.

None of them are actually buying these products, but anything with a benefit to the environment upsets them because their whole identity is tied up in hating anyone more intelligent than they are
