Do you have poison?

The coyote goes behind his prey. One day, zast! It also jumps and with a fast movement, you will be ready to swallow. After eating bapo, when it is “in the calm of the desktop”, the coyote begins to lose its control and, without muscle strength, moves in some corner until the sawdust falls and dies.

Coyote usually appears before swallowing a poison called 1080. At least effective, there is no denying. The controversy raised by the US is due to the use of this substance to control the growth of certain animals.

That is the reader, the chemical compound that is marketed under the name 1080, which causes approximately the poison to remain in the prey and when ingested to predators, will attack the main functions in a short space of time. He died without knowing it was going to be his last meal, the coyote.

In the US a strong controversy has arisen around the product of ditxos 1080. It was first published in 1960 to control animal species in excessive reproduction. At this time it was observed that 1080 could cause damage to other species and its use was prohibited.

In 1985, however, the poison was re-released and the U.S. Environmental Agency EPA declared its effectiveness guaranteed. Since then, supporters and opponents have moved and recently banned their use in some states.
