The United States Department of Agriculture’s “Wildlife Services” is a rogue organization that kills over 100,000 native predators and millions of birds each year, including Endangered Species. This killing agency is supported by tens of millions of our tax dollars each year.
You can view an interactive graphic showing the number and variety of animals killed by Wildlife Services each year nationwide here.
Please go to the Natural Resources Defense Council and take action by asking USDA Inspector General Phyllis Fong to expose the truth about this rogue agency’s wildlife extermination program — and end its deadly assault on wildlife for good.
Here is a trailer for “Wild Things” a film about the war on native carnivores. I am trying to find out when it may be shown and where, or if it will soon be on DVD for purchase. When I get the answers to these questions I will update this post, in the meantime, here is the trailer.

Larry, thanks for the reminder. I’d seen posts about the film, but it’s been off my radar for a while. Frankly, I’d like to see Wildlife Services dismantled entirely — and then reconfigured as a non-lethal, progressive wildlife solutions agency. It’s encouraging to see these indefensible practices getting more press, especially since so many of the methods employed against wild animals harken back a century or more. It truly is time for an updated model of federal wildlife conservation and preservation … not extermination.
Wouldn’t that be great? It boggles the mind that these practices have gone on for so long and still are being used even though an influential politician is opposing them.
This is shocking and sad.
