With reference to your article entitled 'Take action against deadly 'yellow peril', I did not think it helpful to illustrate the news item about ragwort with a photograph of what appears to be harmless autumn hawkbit.
Hopefully, nobody will start pulling the wrong plant out of the ground, in trying to do their part to protect grazing animals from harm.
As the plant is unpleasant to taste it poses greatest risk when mixed up in hay. Whenever I come across it in proximity to a grazing area, I pull the plant out the ground and dispose of it with general rubbish.
