True or False: It is lawful to use poison to take fur-bearing mammals without a permit.

Using poison to take fur-bearing mammals is not lawful without a permit. The regulations around wildlife management are in place to ensure the humane treatment of animals and to maintain ecological balance. Poison can have significant unintended consequences, such as harming non-target species, causing suffering to the animals that ingest it, and contaminating the environment. Due to these potential risks, specific regulations mandate that trapping and taking wildlife must be done using approved methods that do not include poison unless stringent conditions are met. Thus, a permit is necessary to ensure compliance with legal and ethical standards in wildlife management.
