Not all rat poison.

>The permanent regulatory changes announced Friday will ban the widespread sale and use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs), which the province says risk the secondary poisoning of animals who consume poisoned rodents.

These poisons have been banned in other places as well. They kill predators.

it's crazy that stuff still get used, when there's types of poison that are harmless to basically everything but the mice that eat it

Yep, this ban only targets the most indiscriminate poisons, which travel up the food chain and kill wildlife. Other effective rodent control options are still available.

Not necessarily. If your internals get messed up and your body can't effectively pump blood back into the heart because blood vessels were destroyed, you can bleed out into your chest cavity, muscles, tissues, etc.

Techincal term is internal hemorrhage

You can only bleed so much until you become a soup dumpling of blood
