Stop Predator Poisons from Killing Wildlife and Harming Ecosystems:

There’s No Place for These Deadly Poisons on American Lands

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services' predator control program uses sodium cyanide and Compound 1080, two deadly and inhumane poisons that are dangerous to people and environmentally destructive. NRDC is urging Wildlife Services to reexamine its predator control practices and end its use of sodium cyanide and Compound 1080.
