This really highlights the dangers of using poison for pest control. It doesn't just kill the target animal. Once the poison is in the environment, it just keeps on killing. Also, whoever released Flaco from the zoo where he was safely cared for, basically signed a death warrant for him. He was going to die from any number of causes. A building strike killed him, but the poison would have killed him soon anyhow.
