§ 4003 Poison Use For Fur-Bearing Mammals

• •You can't use poison to catch animals with fur (like foxes or beavers) unless you have a special permission slip from the government.
• •To get this permission slip, you have to write down what kind of poison you want to use, where you'll use it, and when.
• •If you use poison without this permission slip, you're breaking the law.

A farmer wants to use poison to stop beavers from damaging his crops.

The farmer can't just use poison. He needs to ask the government for a special permission slip first. He has to tell them what poison he wants to use, where his farm is, and when he plans to do it. If he uses poison without asking, he could get in trouble.
