Via Western Environmental Law Center<\/a><\/p>\n

The Trump administration today announced<\/a> it will reauthorize use of sodium cyanide in wildlife-killing devices called M-44s. These \u201ccyanide bombs\u201d have received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency despite inhumanely and indiscriminately killing thousands of animals every year. They have also injured people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile it is encouraging that the EPA is taking at least some minimal action to protect the public from deadly M-44s, updating a few use restrictions\u00a0\u2013\u2013\u00a0nearly impossible to enforce and commonly ignored \u2013\u2013 fails to meaningfully address the problem,\u201d said Kelly Nokes, Shared Earth wildlife attorney with the Western Environmental Law Center. \u201cEPA is blatantly ignoring its fundamental duty to protect the public, our pets, and native wildlife from the cruel, lethal impacts of cyanide bombs lurking on our public lands. We will continue to hold our federal government accountable to the law, and will continue our fight for a ban on M-44s once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EPA allows use of the devices by Wildlife Services<\/a>, the animal-killing program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The EPA also authorizes M-44 use by state agencies in South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico and Texas.<\/p>\n

In August, the EPA issued an interim decision renewing sodium cyanide registration. Then a week later, it withdrew that interim decision for more discussions with Wildlife Services. Today\u2019s announcement again reauthorizes use of the devices.<\/p>\n

More than 99.9 percent of people commenting on the proposal asked the EPA to ban M-44s, according to analysis<\/a> from the Center for Biological Diversity and Western Environmental Law Center.<\/p>\n

In response to concerns raised by the wildlife advocacy groups and others, EPA added some modest restrictions. For example, the devices cannot be placed within 300 feet of a public road or pathway, increased from 100 feet. Two elevated warning signs must be placed within 15 feet of each device, decreased from 25 feet. And no devices can be placed within 600 feet of a residence unless the landowner gives permission.<\/p>\n

None of the restrictions will prevent killing of nontarget wildlife, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis appalling decision leaves cyanide traps lurking in our wild places to threaten people, pets and imperiled animals,\u201d said Collette Adkins, carnivore conservation director at the Center for Biological Diversity. \u201cThe EPA imposed a few minor restrictions, but these deadly devices have just wreaked too much havoc to remain in use. To truly protect humans and wildlife from these poisonous contraptions, we need a nationwide ban.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTightening up use restrictions is turning a blind eye to the reality of M-44s,\u201d said Brooks Fahy, executive director of Predator Defense. \u201cIn my 25 years working with M-44 victims I\u2019ve learned that Wildlife Services\u2019 agents frequently do not follow the use restrictions.\u00a0 And warning signs will not prevent more dogs, wild animals and potentially children from being killed. They cannot read them. M-44s are a safety menace and must be banned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEPA\u2019s minor revisions do little to reduce the risks sodium cyanide bombs pose to people, fail entirely to address risks to wildlife, including endangered species, and make clear the agency is prioritizing livestock interests over human safety and the environment,\u201d said Cathy Liss, president of the Animal Welfare Institute. \u201cThe simple solution to preventing further tragedies caused by these inherently dangerous devices is a nationwide ban.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUSDA\u2019s rampant, well-documented noncompliance with existing use restrictions has made clear that additional restrictions will not adequately protect the public, pets and wildlife from these deadly cyanide bombs,\u201d said Carson Barylak, Campaigns Manager at the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).<\/p>\n

\u201cCyanide bombs randomly kill wildlife and place children and pets in danger,\u201d said Tara Thornton, deputy director of the Endangered Species Coalition. \u201cThere is no place for them on the landscape.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EPA restrictions are actually weaker than those that were already in place in Idaho when Canyon Mansfield and his dog were poisoned in 2017,\u201d\u00a0said Erik Molvar of Western Watersheds Project. \u201cIt is absolutely appalling that the livestock industry, which is supposed to be regulated by the EPA, is instead dictating the agency\u2019s policy to extend the use of deadly M-44 cyanide bombs and their lethal effects on native wildlife, families, and their pets.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Mexico is a hotbed for sodium cyanide bombs and will continue to be with this announcement,\u201d said Chris Smith, southern Rockies wildlife advocate for WildEarth Guardians. \u201cThe only real solution to the problem of poison bombs on the landscape is to remove them entirely \u2013 they are ineffective, indiscriminate, cruel, and do not belong.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Wildlife Services\u2019 own data<\/a>, M-44s killed 6,579 animals, mostly coyotes and foxes, in 2018, down from 13,232 animals in 2017. Of these, more than 200 deaths were nontarget animals, including a bear, foxes, opossums, raccoons and skunks. These numbers are likely a significant undercount of the true death toll, as Wildlife Services is notorious for poor data collection and an entrenched \u201cshoot, shovel, shut up\u201d mentality.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

The devices spray deadly sodium cyanide into the mouths of unsuspecting coyotes, foxes and other carnivores lured by smelly bait. Anything or anyone that pulls on the baited M-44 device can be killed or severely injured by the deadly spray.<\/p>\n

In response to a\u00a02017 lawsuit\u00a0brought by the Center and its allies, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service agreed<\/a> to analyze impacts of M-44s on endangered wildlife by the end of 2021. Another 2017 lawsuit by the wildlife advocates prompted Wildlife Services in Colorado to temporarily halt<\/a> the use of M-44s while it completes a new environmental analysis on its wildlife-killing program.<\/p>\n

Last year, EPA denied a 2017 petition<\/a> authored by the Center for Biological Diversity and WildEarth Guardians that asked for a nationwide ban on M-44s.<\/p>\n

M-44s temporarily blinded a child and killed three family dogs in two incidents in Idaho and Wyoming in 2017. A wolf was also accidentally killed by an M-44 set in Oregon that year. In response, Idaho instituted an ongoing moratorium on M-44 use on public lands, and Oregon this year passed legislation banning them in the state.<\/p>\n
