Wildlife Services, a US agency planting 'cyanide bombs' to kill predators
This article seems like a hell of a reach.  I have a master's in Fisheries Science that was funded in part by FWS, though I no longer work in that field, so I may not be entirely objective.<p>That said, the simple reality is that managing native species and how they interact with society has to be done.  Whether it's suburban coyotes killing off family pets (a big problem in my suburb at the moment) or rural clashes between ranchers and wolves, you cannot just let the situation unfurl without official intervention.   Allowing civilians to handle it results in endangerment and extinction, and refusing to handle it results in ecological damage and risk to both people and livestock.<p>Now, if the only point is that better training and communication protocols for these Federal employees is in order, sure I buy that for basically every Federal department.  Making out like FWS is some pet-assassinating Kremlin is pretty low-effort clickbait.  The reason nobody's heard of them is because nobody much cares about what does or doesn't happen to coyotes and deer until it impacts them.
