Pope Francis made news again lately with comments about the environment, particularly global warming. Unfortunately, it looks like he’s learned nothing since he released his promising but deeply flawed encyclical Laudato Si’ in June of last year. Speaking of global warming, the Pope said, “This is leading to ever more severe droughts, floods, fires and

M-44s are spring-loaded devices that eject powdered sodium cyanide to kill the animal that pulls it. They were designed for the purpose of controlling canine predators such as coyotes. Unlike other control devices which require the animal to push (e.g. footholds), M-44s require the animal to bite and pull. When the animal bites and pulls,
