Public Meeting: Addressing Owl Deaths from Rodenticide Poisoning
Join us for an important public meeting on October 20th, 2025 to discuss solutions to owl deaths from secondary rodenticide poisoning and improved environmental hygiene practices.
Public Meeting: Addressing Owl Deaths from Rodenticide Poisoning
The Keurboom Park Association invites you to an important public meeting to address a critical conservation issue affecting our local owl population.
The Issue
Our community has been experiencing a serious problem: owl deaths caused by secondary rodenticide poisoning. When owls prey on rodents that have consumed rodenticides, they are exposed to these toxic chemicals, often with fatal consequences. This secondary poisoning threatens our local owl populations and disrupts the natural balance of our ecosystem.
Meeting Purpose
This gathering will provide an opportunity for:
- Information Exchange: Learn about the current situation and the impact of rodenticide poisoning on our owl population
- Discussion of Solutions: Explore alternative approaches to rodent control that protect wildlife
- Community Input: Share your concerns and contribute to finding sustainable solutions
- Future Planning: Discuss improved management of environmental hygiene and implementation of non-toxic rat control methods
