Every year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program kills thousands of wolves, bears, coyotes, and other carnivores. What possible justification could the government have for killing wildlife on the taxpayers' dime? It's a subsidy to the livestock industry. Even more disturbing, they use poisons like sodium cyanide and Compound 1080, as well as antiquated devices such as steel-jawed foothold traps and neck snares. These methods kill not just the target animals but also those that pose no threat to livestock. I would like congress to end the power given to Wildlife Services allowing them to murder animals without justification.
