Ban on M-44 "Cyanide Bombs" on Public Lands

The "Canyon’s Law" prohibits the use of M-44 devices, also known as "cyanide bombs," on public lands. This aims to protect people, pets, and wildlife from accidental poisoning by the deadly sodium cyanide used in these devices for predator control. As a result, citizens will be safer when recreating on public lands, and their pets will be less exposed to danger.
