This united states goverment not any other. Thank you.
Recent news reports highlighted the deaths of thousands of blackbirds who fell from the sky -- poisoned by our government with your tax dollars. In the eighty years since passage of the Animal Damage Control Act of 1931, millions upon millions of wild animals have fallen victim to the federal killing program now known as Wildlife Services. Every year, this program (which is under the U.S. Department of Agriculture) continues to rack up millions more victims with toxic poisons, aerial gunning, steel-jawed traps, and other inhumane methods of killing -- costing taxpayers millions of dollars as a wasteful subsidy for private ranchers and other special interests.
Please contact USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack and tell him it's time to reform Wildlife Services. We need to shift toward non-lethal methods of solving wildlife conflicts, and more efficient use of your tax dollars. Thank you for taking action.

Since passage of the Animal Damage Control Act of 1931, the federal government has been in the business of poisoning, trapping, shooting and asphyxiating wildlife, and millions upon millions of wild animals have fallen victim to this federal killing program. Most recently, thousands of starlings fell from the sky -- they were poisoned by Wildlife Services. Their crime? Eating unprotected cattle feed.
I am aware that Wildlife Services does use some non-lethal techniques, and conducts research in others. But its field agents continue to rely on lethal methods. Please use my tax dollars on non-lethal methods of control, starting with the replacement of the predator poisons Compound 1080 and sodium cyanide with effective, long-lasting, and humane techniques, such as the use of herders and shepherds, guarding animals, and predator fencing.
Thank you for your consideration.
