#USDA Wildlife Services Should End Indiscriminate Killing (Op-Ed) Zack Strong is an NRDC wildlife advocate in Bozeman Mont.
Each year Wildlife Services a little-known agency within the U s. Department of agriculture (USDA) shoots traps and poisons millions of animals including about 100000 native carnivores ostensibly to resolve conflicts between people and wildlife.
carefully documents the non-selective nature of many of the lethal devices and methods used by Wildlife Services
and interviews former Wildlife Services agents who explain that inevitably these practices kill many wild animals by mistake.
For example Wildlife Services uses spring-loaded devices called M-44s that shoot cyanide into the mouth of whatever animal happens to tug on the baited head.
Wildlife Services agents also use a variety of traps and snares. These devices often capture non-target animals including rare and threatened species such as wolverines lynx and grizzly bears.
According to Wildlife Services'own data in 2012 the agency mistakenly caught and killed more than 520 animals in leghold traps
Another particularly ugly method employed by Wildlife Services is shooting predators from planes and helicopters sometimes killing them sometimes just catastrophically wounding them.
Perhaps most egregiously Wildlife Services is funded largely by taxpayer dollars and many of its operations occur on federal and state lands.
And it's why we'll continue to work toward reasonably reforming Wildlife Services particularly its program of predator control by banning the use of indiscriminate poisons requiring prioritization of nonlethal prevention measures
