	Sandra Beasley and the Spaz Rats
		Rats are considered "terminal vectors", that is if a rabid animal should bite a rat, the rat is either eaten by that animal or the rat dies of it's bite wounds, thus immediately ending the chain.
		The most popular poison is Warfarin which is an anti-coagulating poison and causes the animal's blood to thin to the point where it hemmorhages internally and slowly bleeds to death.
		Rats that have died from the poison can affect wild animals and pets in the same manner, should the carcass be eaten by them.

		Soon after the early December bombings in Jerusalem, Yediot Ahronot reported that nearly all the poison in one of the alleged rat poison bombs was consumed by the energy of the explosion.
		Although none of the rat bomb stories names the specific rat poison being used, the most common anticoagulant rodenticides around the world are warfarin, chlorophacinone, diphacinone, and bromadiolone.
		These anticoagulants are poison for wildlife, but one of them—warfarin—is a spectacularly great medicine for human beings when meted out in the proper dose.

		WELLINGTON - Fish and seabirds are at risk after 18 tonnes of rat poison spilled into the sea at a New Zealand tourist spot renowned as a feeding ground for whales and dolphins, conservation officials said yesterday.
		Local media reported that the poison had been destined for remote Campbell Island, 700 km (440 miles) south of New Zealand's main islands, for use in in the conservation department's rat eradication programme.
		Rats were not native to New Zealand, but landed with the arrival of foreign ships and have since caused damage to the islands' fauna - particularly the kakapo, the world's only flightless nocturnal parrot and also the heaviest at around 3.5 kg (eight pounds).

	Warfarin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Warfarin was originally developed as a rat poison, but it is no longer used for that purpose as modern poisons are much more potent and toxic (e.g.
		Coumarins, a class of drugs of which warfarin is a member, are used as a rodenticide for controlling rats and mice in residential, industrial, and agricultural areas.
		The active ingredient in rat poison is brodifacoum, which is sometimes referred to as a super-warfarin, because it is longer acting than the drug warfarin.

	The Rat Pack
		Not surprisingly, many poison experts, national medical groups, and consumer advocacy organizations believe rat poisons should be regulated -- with, for instance, the most powerful poisons restricted solely to industrial users.
		The document, which said rat poisons were toxic to “nontarget species” -- that is, humans and other animals -- presented strong evidence for limiting the sale of some of the chemicals to licensed users.
		Ultimately, in September 2004, the EPA released a revised assessment of the rat poisons, asserting that the chemicals’ effects are not fully understood and recommending “further evaluation.” By this time, the agency had also backed away from requiring that manufacturers add a bitter taste and an indicator dye to rat poisons.
