## Summary

**Would ban M-44 cyanide "ejector" devices on public land.** It would require federal, state, and county agencies to remove any such devices within 30 days after enactment and defines which lands and agencies are covered. - Families and pet owners: Would cut the risk of accidental cyanide exposure to people and pets. Sources document more than 50 family dogs killed since 1990 and at least 42 people accidentally exposed since 1984. - Wildlife and endangered species: Would reduce deaths of non-target animals. M-44s have killed thousands of non-target species including bald eagles, golden eagles, gray wolves, black bears, grizzly bears, bobcats, and fishers and have been linked to endangered species deaths. - Public land agencies: Would require the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, and Forest Service to remove any deployed M-44 devices within 30 days. - Livestock producers and predator managers: Would remove a tool used against coyotes, foxes, and wild dogs on public land. The devices kill targeted animals only about 53 percent of the time.
