After 80 Years, It's Time to Change

Dear Michele,

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.

Sincerely,

Wayne Pacelle, President & CEO
