Poison Free Calabasas

Another very sad story on our beautiful mountain lions lost on our roadways. 💔 It seems to be happening far too often lately.

The wildlife crossing cannot come soon enough for these magnificent animals. As our communities continue to grow, it’s important to remember that mountain lions were here long before we were. The number one cause of death for mountain lions is automobile strikes, and the second is exposure to rat poisons that move up the food chain.

Please slow down, stay alert, and choose poison-free rodent control. Together, we can help protect the wildlife that shares this landscape with us.

It’s always heartbreaking to see these beautiful mountain lions killed on our roadways — especially one so young. Sadly, the leading causes of death for mountain lions are automobiles and rodenticide rat poisons. In this case, our canyon roads have become raceways, and wildlife is paying the price. Slow down. These animals were here long before us and deserve a chance to survive.

We wanted to provide an update on the mountain lion who was found deceased on Mulholland Drive, and could very well be the mountain lion from the CLAW Nature Cam footage.

We heard the following: she was a young female estimated to be just 10 or 11 months old. She was struck by a vehicle in that area and died at the roadside. Since she was not radio-collared or tagged, we do not have any background information on her yet, but UC Davis will conduct genetic testing to determine possible relatives.

We've said it before and we'll say it again: we need more wildlife crossings and corridors. The animals who we share the city with need safer ways to traverse the land they call home.

It's natural to be sad when tragedies like this happen. But we hope that's followed by an urge to make a difference, for the sake of mountain lions like this and all the rest of our wild neighbors.

Looking ahead, we will continue fighting to protect and restore wild land around Los Angeles, and we hope you will too.

Glue traps kill wildlife in one of the most inhumane and torturous ways imaginable😢

Thank you to Raptors are the solution for this amazing post on bringing awareness to the toxic effects of rodenticide rat poisons. 

A pest control company charges $40-80 per month for rodent management. The bait they set is brodifacoum — a second-generation anticoagulant that kills the mouse over three to five days. During those days, the dying mouse becomes easy prey for the owl, the hawk, the fox, and your neighbor's cat. The poison moves up. The company comes back monthly.

Four animals were running rodent control on your property before the bait station arrived. The poison you hired killed them too.

The barn owl hunts by sound alone — her asymmetric ears triangulate a mouse under grass in total darkness. A single family removes over 3,000 rodents per year. Cost per rodent: functionally zero. The bait station costs $8.11 per rodent.

The red-tailed hawk works the day shift from your fence post. Her diet is 85 percent small mammals. She produces zero secondary poisoning.

The rat snake works the interior — your barn, your walls, your crawl space. She goes where bait stations can't.

The red fox pounces through grass at dawn, aligning her strikes with Earth's magnetic field. She removes 3,000 to 4,000 rodents per year.

The pest company replaced a team of four. The replacement killed the original staff. The mice came back. The invoice didn't stop.

Amazing job done so grateful they were able to take him alive and relocate him without euthanizing him ❤️

If we don't bother Wildlife, they won't bother us.

We have skunks in our yard and love them!
