Sen. Birch Bayh charged the Interior Department with policing a lethal poison program run by the Division of Wildlife Services that targets coyotes and livestock predators. Sen. Gaylord Nelson urged defunding until a full environmental impact statement is filed and a Missouri plan trapping alternative is studied. Senator McGee called for new hearings after eagle kills linked to predator poisons raised broader questions.
