Stop Funding Wildlife Services in U.S.

5 million wildlife animals were illegally killed by Wildlife Services in Nevada based on a 30 year old environmental impact survey.

 

Wildlife Services' decision to use lethal and nonlethal methods, immobilization, frightening devices, aerial hunting, leghold traps, cage traps, shooting, dogs, foot snares, neck snares, and toxic chemicals in Wilderness Areas in Nevada, where these methods use motor vehicles, motorized equipment, the landing of aircraft, or other forms of mechanical transport, are in violation of the Wilderness Act.

 

 

U.S. Department of Agriculture and its Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, aka APHIS or Wildlife Services spends approximately $126 million annually to kill millions of animals- approximately 300 species.

Every year, wolves, bears, coyotes and mountain lions, are trapped and gunned down by Wildlife Services, and are poisoned with toxic chemicals dangerous to pets and humans.

 

The agency's killing programs are inhumane, unscientific, expensive, ineffective and often illegal. They fail to address wildlife-human conflicts through prevention, avoidance, and public education. Stop funding the Wildlife Service.
