Government Detonated Cyanide Bombs Injure Boy and Kill Dog

In case you were wondering if the EPA and the USDA work together, the odds of such communications have been lowered dramatically after this news. The USDA approves cyanide bombs to ‘destroy’ animals which might be dangerous to livestock. The thing is, these cyanide bombs are coming much to close to humans and their pets. In fact, they have killed a lot of pets and injured humans.

Take the case of 14-year-old Canyon Mansfield. He was playing with his dog 350 feet from his home. A government detonated cyanide bomb went off, covering the dog in suffocating orange chemical and injuring the boy.

“We are devastated,” the boy’s mother, Theresa Mansfield, of Pocatello, Idaho, told Fox News on Tuesday. “My dog died in less than 2 minutes. My son was rushed to the hospital covered in cyanide.”

The family, of course, had no idea they were there. And even if they did, should they really have been in such close proximity to a normal family? Family pets are increasingly killed by M-44s, which are used by the Department of Agriculture to kill animals they see as threats to humans and the environment.

“These deadly traps have killed scores of domestic animals, and sooner or later, they will kill a human.”

Wait, a threat to the environment? The EPA protects scores of wildlife and land plots, however, their sister agency detonates chemical bombs to kill animals, risk human lives and infect the land with a mushroom of toxic residues. I’m pretty sure the “making sense” part in all of this has been lost and I’m not completely sure it can ever be found again. The worst part is that this is all tax payer funded. Yep, your hard earned tax money just detonated a bomb on a labrador and his child protector. And the child watched the dog die the harshest of deaths.

Our government is a hypocritical venture, at best. To pursue so much environmental protection bloat while simultaneously detonating cyanide bombs is the epitome of hypocrisy.

These atrocities are inexcusable. We should immediately move to cease subsidizing rancher’s livestock protection efforts using our own tax dollars when those efforts are utilizing dangerous weaponry. This puts us all at risk.

The detonated bomb caused the bomb squad to come out and investigate. The government claims these bombs can’t kill a child. I am hard pressed to believe that a cyanide bomb capable of putting down a full grown labrador isn’t capable of killing a small boy. The boy’s weight is 100 lbs. The dog was 80 lbs. This seems like a nonsensical mantra by a government agency clearly decimated by it’s own internal stupidity.
