Washington DC <\/strong>\u2013 Today, U.S. Representatives Jared Huffman (CA-02) and Steve Cohen (TN-09), along with U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR), re-introduced legislation that would ban hazardous cyanide bombs from public lands. Their bill, Canyon\u2019s Law<\/em>, would protect families, pets, and wildlife from dangerous M-44 ejectors \u2013 spring-loaded devices made up of sodium cyanide used to kill predatory animals and pest species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cCyanide bombs have proven to be deadly for families, pets, and wildlife \u2013 regardless of their intended target \u2013 and have no business being on our public lands,\u201d dijo el representante Huffman. <\/strong>\u201cPeople and their pets should not be threatened by cruel and indiscriminate devices when they are trying to enjoy the outdoors, especially when there are far safer, proven methods to protect livestock. Our bill will help ensure this unnecessary use of hazardous devices comes to an end.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cThe use of M-44 cyanide bombs to control wildlife is inhumane and unjustifiable. I am pleased to join Congressman Huffman and my other colleagues in ending this barbaric practice. With the passage of Canyon\u2019s Law, hikers, campers and their pets will be able to traverse federal lands without the fear of harm or death from these inconspicuous devices,\u201d dijo el representante Cohen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cCyanide bombs do not belong on public lands, and we must permanently ban these dangerous devices that threaten our ability to safely enjoy our natural treasures,\u201d dijo el senador Merkley.<\/strong> \u201cThese bombs have no safeguards to protect you, your family, your pets, or unintended wildlife from the dangers they pose. More effective, safe, and humane options exist for predator control\u2014their intended purpose\u2014and those should be the only options used on public lands given the harms cyanide bombs can cause to humans and animals alike.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

M-44s are small traps driven into the ground and loaded with the powdered poison, sodium cyanide. Once set, M-44s resemble sprinkler heads, and when triggered, these traps eject a cloud of cyanide intended to kill coyotes, wild dogs, or foxes. As a byproduct, these devices sometimes harm humans and their pets around public lands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Canyon\u2019s Law<\/em> is named after Canyon Mansfield, an Idaho boy whose dog came into contact with an M-44 while walking along public lands in 2017. His dog accidentally activated a M-44 device, and Canyon watched helplessly as his beloved companion suffered a cruel and painful death. Fortunately for Canyon, the wind pushed much of the cyanide away from him, yet he still suffers health effects to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNo one should have to experience what my family and I went through with the death of our dog and the near death of our son,\u201d said Dr. Mark Mansfield, Canyon\u2019s father<\/strong>. \u201cCyanide has no place being used anywhere in the U.S. as a pesticide or \u2018lethal control\u2019 weapon, such as an M-44 \u2018cyanide bomb.\u2019 All Americans can and should get behind this simple, common-sense law, \u2018Canyon\u2019s Law\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The Agriculture Department acknowledges that there are hundreds of unintended wildlife deaths every year as a result of these devices. These cyanide bombs also cause severe, irreparable harm to people who have been exposed, either inadvertently or while trying to save their pets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The legislation was originally introduced in the House by now-retired Congressman Peter DeFazio (OR-04). Last Congress, Rep. Huffman oversaw the Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Oceans, and Wildlife hearing on this legislation. View his line of questioning with Dr. Mark Mansfield, Canyon’s father aqu\u00ed.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This bill is endorsed by Predator Defense, Animal Welfare Institute, International Fund for Animal Welfare, Western Watersheds Project, Center for Biological Diversity, and Animal Legal Defense Fund, Humane World Action Fund, Humane World for Animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWorking side by side with the Mansfield family since their tragedy, as well as with other M-44 victims for over 30 years, I have witnessed the pain and loss these indiscriminate devices inflict,\u201d said Brooks Fahy, Executive Director of Predator Defense. <\/strong>\u201cSince M-44s can never be used safely, they must be banned. This is not a partisan issue. It\u2019s a public safety issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWildlife Services’ refusal to end the use of M-44 sodium cyanide devices shows both an unwillingness to transition away from archaic lethal methods, as well as a cruel indifference to the threats posed to people, pets, and wildlife,\u201d said Susan Millward, Executive Director and CEO of the Animal Welfare Institute.<\/strong> \u201cThese dangerous devices have no place on America’s public lands. We urge Congress to stand up to Wildlife Services and end the use of this inhumane method.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cTargeting native wildlife with cyanide bombs is a barbaric and unacceptable practice,” said Erik Molvar, Executive Director for Western Watersheds Project. <\/strong>“These chemical weapons need to be outlawed before the next child, pet, or unsuspecting creature is poisoned.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cIt\u2019s horrifying to think that cyanide bombs are still being used today when we know they indiscriminately kill and injure children, pets and endangered species,\u201d said Rachel Rilee, Policy Specialist at the Center for Biological Diversity.<\/strong> \u201cWe should be allowed to hike and enjoy our public lands in peace. It\u2019s time to ban these cruel wildlife-killing traps once and for all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cM-44 sodium \u2018cyanide bombs\u2019 are indiscriminate devices that pose deadly risks for people, pets, and wildlife,\u201d said Allison Ludtke, Legislative Affairs Manager at Animal Legal Defense Fund.<\/strong> \u201cThese poisons \u2014 which have injured people, taken the lives of pets, and decimated wildlife \u2014 do not belong on public lands, and their use is unjustifiable at a time when countless humane, non-lethal alternatives exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Original co-sponsors of the legislation in the House include Representatives Suzan K. DelBene, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Jan Schakowsky, and Dave Min. In the Senate, the legislation is cosponsored by Senators Bernie Sanders, Ron Wyden, Sheldon Whitehouse, Chris Van Hollen, Martin Heinrich, Adam Schiff, and Angela Alsobrooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
