- The Bureau of Land Management is ending the practice of using 'cyanide bombs' to kill species.
- M-44 spring-loaded traps filled with cyanide have been used for species management for decades.
- However, critics have noted that the traps harm other animals, including endangered species.
The US Bureau of Land Management says it will no longer use spring-loaded traps full of cyanide on its land — a small win for wildlife activists and advocates concerned with pet and human safety.
