Which action is illegal according to the Kansas Wildlife Code?

Using poison to control skunks is illegal according to the Kansas Wildlife Code due to significant concerns regarding non-target species and environmental safety. Poison can have unintended consequences, such as harming other wildlife, pets, or even humans who may accidentally come into contact with the toxin. The law aims to protect local ecosystems and ensure humane treatment of wildlife, and the indiscriminate nature of poison makes it a highly regulated or prohibited method of pest control. This regulation reflects a broader commitment to responsible wildlife management and the preservation of biodiversity, as well as public safety.

In contrast, activities like relocating squirrels may require a permit for wildlife management purposes, while using live traps for raccoons is often permitted under specific guidelines. Additionally, while feeding wildlife in urban areas might raise concerns about attracting pests or altering natural animal behavior, it is not specifically prohibited by the Kansas Wildlife Code.
