Canyon’s Law

HR 4068, or "Canyon’s Law," bans the use of M-44 devices - cyanide-based predator control tools - on all public lands managed by federal agencies like the National Park Service, Fish and Wildlife Service, and Forest Service. The bill prohibits agencies from preparing, placing, or deploying these devices and requires all existing M-44s on public land to be removed within 30 days of enactment. It directly affects federal, state, and county agencies that previously used these devices to target wildlife like wolves and coyotes. The law aims to prevent accidental poisonings of people, pets, and non-target species (including endangered animals) by eliminating the use of this hazardous method on public lands.
