Bill to Ban Two Deadly Agents Introduced in Congress
June 30, 2010 - Today Congressman Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Congressman John Campbell (R-CA) introduced the Compound 1080 and Sodium Cyanide Elimination Act (H.R. 5643) before the U.S. Congress.
We are extremely excited about our chances of finally passing this bill to ban these two deadly agents that indiscriminately harm and kill wildlife, pets and people. In the past few years we have garnered significant Congressional support for this legislation and have built a coalition with other environmental organizations that have backed us with their expertise and seasoned political strategists.

Celebrating 20 Years!
December 2009 - From our inception two decades ago, our mission has never changed—we exist to protect our nation's maligned predator species from persecution. Our primary effort has been our fight to dismantle government-sponsored lethal predator control programs.
Every year special interest groups ask for more government funding for lethal predator control that use indiscriminate killing methods. Their war on wildlife knows no bounds. It continues discreetly and routinely bolstered by state wildlife management agencies and the livestock industry, and, unwittingly, by citizens whose tax dollars are misused to kill native wildlife.
Right now we need your help now more than ever, as we are poised to make major progress in banning two deadly agents: M-44s and Compound 1080 (details below).

The USDA's War on Wildlife
The USDA Wildlife Services predator control program is the only federal program that kills native predators at the request of ranchers and state wildlife management agencies. They use indiscriminate methods that also endanger humans and pets. This program is a primary focus of Predator Defense's legislative work.
