The purpose of this legislation, known as "Canyon's Law," is to ban the use of M-44 devices, commonly referred to as "cyanide bombs," on public land. These devices are used to kill certain wild animals, such as coyotes and foxes, that are believed to threaten livestock. The law aims to protect both people and wildlife from the dangers posed by these toxic devices. Key provisions of the law include a complete prohibition on the preparation, placement, or use of M-44 devices on public land.
