Yes, there are new 'poisons' that are not lethal to a secondary predator. A person would need to take the time to research and find that particular "poison" as there are still many on the market that are dangerous to other predatory animals. They are all sold on the shelf right next to each other.
I know two raptor rehabbers locally that deal with secondary rodenticide on a regular basis - barred owls, great horned owls, snowy owls, red tail hawks, bald eagles are all species that they see with regularity.
I applaud you for searching out poisons that are effective at the job at hand without secondary poisoning but not everyone will go to the same length. While the website with the references I posted may seem myopic to you, it holds true that there are still poisons on the shelf that affect more than the rodents that need to be eradicated and a need for education on the differences.
