The gassing of pups in their dens and sterilization are inappropriate for a species listed under the Endangered Species Act. These methods do not represent responsible wildlife management for the 21st century. In addition, the use of gas is not even currently legal and likely would not be approved by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service or the Environmental Protection Agency.
The wolf-killing methods outlined in the Environmental Assessment are inappropriate and conflict with Wildlife Services' mission to "create a balance that allows people and wildlife to coexist peacefully."
Call off the slaughter. I don't want my tax dollars to be used to kill native wildlife under this misguided and archaic scheme.
