End the Use of Compound 1080 and Other Poisons

After traveling more than 1,000 miles from her Montana home, a female wolf from the Mill Creek pack (known as 314F), met a horrific fate in Colorado — illegally poisoned by the deadly Compound 1080.

Plagued with convulsions, dizziness and unbearable pain, her journey ended in a terrible death on a lonely Colorado road.

But sadly, she is not alone. Compound 1080 — one of the most lethal toxins known to humankind — and sodium cyanide collectively kill thousands of coyotes every year. And often, these deadly poisons don't reach their intended targets, killing imperiled wildlife — and even domestic dogs — instead.

EPA is deciding whether to allow the continued use of these deadly chemicals to kill wildlife.

Take action now! Urge the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use of Compound 1080 and sodium cyanide to prevent the poisoning of wildlife struggling to survive.
