    USDA Wildlife Service Cyanide Bomb Kills Dog and Injures Boy

    Now, this shit is about as stupid as an acre of fungus.

    http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/03/21...aker-says.html

    The US Wildlife Service has planted a bunch of the chemical IEDs around populated areas frequented by children and pets. In this case there was no signs, no warning - just a bang and the kid and dog were covered in cyanide. Multiple dogs have been killed. Better yet, it appears that some were planted on private property without the owner's knowledge.

    Could someone please post the name, address, and picture of the person who thought this was a good idea.

    I read that yesterday. Amazing story, I believe the kid was hit in the face with the spray as he and the dog approached it. I'm surprised it didn't kill him.
    It would appear the family isn't getting a lot of support from the agency who came up with this bright idea.
    Pretty damned sick.

    Article says they're supposed to go off when an animal pulls on them. So how are they going off by themselves?

    I assume they are baited and the dog pulled on it. I could be wrong, and perhaps some just defective? No one could be stupid enough to have them go off due to proximity, could they?

    I'm not sure they are going off by themselves. It sounds like people's pets are attracted to the bait and setting them off. That by itself is a big problem. It's an even bigger problem when that pet has a leash...held by a child.

    Up until the article said the device is bated and the animal pulls on it I was thinking it was a proximity device. The whole time I'm thinking WTF ...NO WAY!

    I guess the article should have explained it better or I just didn't have enough coffee.

    ".....Days earlier, a family walking in an area 52 miles northwest of Casper, Wyo., lost two dogs from an M-44 that detonated near a hiking trail they have walked for 20 years....."

    This makes it sound like a proximity detonation

    The Mother of stupid ideas brought to you by people who would likely be very offended if you suggested opening Federal Land to people who would hunt and kill the same coyotes with guns.

    Next we'll be planting Bouncing Betty mines to curb the deer population.

    I mean honestly, what the actual f**k? Who comes up with this stuff, drunk Lcpl's? Let's plant literal IEDs in pubic areas with no warning signs whatsoever. You know, because Wile-e Coyote can read.
