Tell the BLM: No deadly cyanide bombs on public lands

BLM Principal Deputy Director Bill Groffy,

In 2017, a boy was poisoned by an M-44 predator control device, or “cyanide bomb,” and his dog was killed before his eyes. Later that year, a wolf from Oregon’s Shamrock pack was found dead — the unintentional victim of a cyanide bomb set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

The fact is that deadly “cyanide bombs” don’t discriminate. These lethal devices are just too dangerous, and they don’t belong in the wild spaces we share with wolves and other endangered wildlife.

I strongly urge you not to permit the use of cyanide bombs on the 245 million acres of public lands managed by the BLM.
