Protect Africa's Lions From Pesticide Poisoning! |
|
Lions in Kenya are dying horrific deaths from carbofuran pesticide poisoning, a toxic chemical used on crops. Unfortunately, once one animal has been poisoned, its carcass attracts other wildlife, poisoning animals and predators up the food chain – including the iconic and beautiful African lions. Urge Kenya to enact a ban on carbofuran pesticide and protect these majestic, wild lions » Lions are a vulnerable species that depend on a wide variety of wildlife to survive. With a diet that ranges from wildebeest and hippos to smaller animals such as hares and birds, they are at tremendous risk of poisoning from carbofuran pesticide. While the Kenyan government has stopped allowing sales of the pesticide in their country, some members of Kenya's parliament still oppose a ban of the pesticide. As home to the most iconic and celebrated wildlife on the African continent, it is important that Kenya ban this poison immediately. Please take action today. Send your message to Kenya's Minister of Tourism and Wildlife, and urge Kenya to protect lions and other wildlife from carbofuran pesticide » Thanks for taking action!
