Cyanide Bombs Killed Far Fewer Animals in 2025
Original: “Cyanide Bombs” Killed Dramatically Less Wildlife in 2025, Data Shows
New data shows that M-44 cyanide bombs, devices placed on public and private lands to kill coyotes and other predators, caused dramatically less wildlife deaths in 2025 than in previous years. The Center for Biological Diversity highlighted the figures, saying the drop shows the devices should be banned outright. Conservation groups have long argued the traps indiscriminately kill endangered species, pets and people.
Why now: New federal data on wildlife deaths from cyanide bombs was released and highlighted by conservation groups pushing for a ban.
