The Attorney General’s office is stepping in, citing violations of EPA rules that require outdoor rodenticides to be in secure bait stations. The couple also reportedly refused to cooperate with investigators and displayed anti-dog signs. The state is seeking daily fines of $7,500, and a judge has already ordered the poison removed. This case serves as a stark warning: even well-intentioned actions with harmful substances can have dangerous consequences — especially for innocent pets.
