Hog poison use in state put on hold
Scimetrics Ltd. Corp., maker of the controversial Kaput Feral Hog Bait, has withdrawn its registration for the bait in Texas. ABC7 Amarillo reports the company said it was under the threat of lawsuits. The company added it cannot risk the disruption that comes with any legal battle. The bait contains warfarin, a blood thinner that’s used in pesticide. Bait opponents believe the bait would do more harm than good with widespread use. State officials have put the bait’s use on hold. Brandon Ray photo
