Environment California: Tell the BLM - No cyanide bombs on public lands

Deadly cyanide bombs are a brutal way to kill unwanted wildlife, and they absolutely don't belong where people live, hike and play. But right now, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is once again allowing cyanide bombs on the millions of acres of public lands they manage. In 2017, an Idaho boy and his dog were exploring near their home when he noticed something that looked like a sprinkler head on the ground. But it was a cyanide bomb. When he touched it, the device exploded in a cloud of deadly sodium cyanide. The boy was rushed to the hospital. His yellow lab was dead in minutes. The device was planted by government wildlife managers to kill predators, but a child paid the price. Once a cyanide bomb is placed, there's no way to control what -- or who -- will fall victim. Tell the BLM: No deadly cyanide bombs on public lands. Act HERE.
