There was a time when a hunter would have picked up some bounty money for bringing in culls.
Was this cyanide bomb an attempt at cutting costs? Who approved the deployment of devices such as this?
I pray the lad is going to fully recover.

The dog won’t.
Your point is well taken. Let hunters benefit. Let livestock owners protect their own herds. (Cowboys?)
Poison “BOMBS” and poison “COLLARS”???? You’ve got to be kidding me! I’ve never heard of such things.
Who thought THIS was a good idea?
Solution #1. Gun in the house, coyote/mountain lion in the yard, problem solved.
Solution #2. Father/son or daughter hunting outings. Healthy, bonding, firearm safety/skills, bounty. “Family” time.
Solution #3. A 3 letter word, J O B S. Hire people to watch over your own herds.
Solution #4. Second Amendment concealed carry permit. People/predator confrontations will end poorly for the predators.
Solution #5. Live and let live. This random killing with “bombs” is indiscriminately killing wildlife that may have done nothing wrong.
Solution #6. Fox in the hen house? Build a better hen house, Guard your own hen house, get a dog.
Solution #7. Eliminate the “Wildlife Services” unit of the USDA. Save money.
The statement:
“The Wildlife Services said on Friday that the incident near Pocatello was the first “unintentional lethal take of a dog” by an M-44 in Idaho since 2014.”
“Weasel words”:
“first”. No it wasn’t the “first”. Only AFTER you add all the qualifiers can they say “first”.
“unintentional”. Are there “INTENTIONAL” killing of dogs? That would be a “YES”.
“Lethal”. That just means they don’t all DIE right away.
“take”. We want to sanitize this buy not saying “KILLED”
“dog”. Let’s be very specific, so as to rule out all other pets or livestock.
“by an M44” Let’s narrow this down to this ONE particular device.
“Idaho” It’s a USDA program (federal), so let’s narrow it to only this ONE state.
“Since 2014”. All the way back to 2014, eh? December 2014 or January 2014. This could hide a whole year, depending. Must be 2014 and years prior were not years they are proud to talk about.
I’m sure that you noticed that in that “carefully crafted” statement that almost EVERY word in it was a “weasel word”.
