But it defies belief that a lodge in the world famous game reserve should consider using such a product knowing full well how lethal the consequences are. I am travelling to the Mara on an assignment (freelance journalist) next week and would like to dig further. Who should I contact beyond Brian Heath? Keep up the good work.

Shocking to read people are ingesting this poison through fish they consume, as well. Who knows the long term accumalitive effects this may have on them and their offspring. I'm very proud of Dr. Keakey, Paula, Dipesh, Simon, Antony, and all the other wonderful bloggers for participating in this collective effort. This is history in the making!

The horrible practice of poisoning wildlife should be stopped as soon as possible. I really hope that this campaign is a success and this ghastly chemical is banned.
