A kid was hurt by these cyanide mines and it also killed his dog https://amp.idahostatesman.com/news/local/environment/article217956755.html
This is insane and easily the worst way someone could have come up with to kill coyotes. WTF America.
I'm not for killing coyotes or any wild animals, but a non-selective trap that's a danger to the public? WTF@!@
Just declare coyote a pest animal and open season every year until the reduction number was met, plenty of hunters out there would do it much more safely.
Have more guns than anyone knows what to do with
Use cyanide booby traps instead of guns to kill coyotes
It's because most gun-owners don't know how to hunt.
basically are already. just lazy ranchers
But then you'd have the ranchers worrying about having their livestock accidentally shot or irritated by the hunters roaming around.
I'm pretty sure the goal is to have few to no humans needing to be involved in the management of larger and larger areas of land and larger and larger herds of livestock.
Even guardian dogs would be viewed negatively as there's another living thing that 1) needs to be taken care of and 2) does what all living things do (which is its own thing) that might not sync up with the rancher's goals.
