Thanksgiving 2009, the USDA-Wildlife Services gunned down the entire Idaho-based, Basin Butte wolf pack -- including the pack's leader, Alpha Fe, and her pups -- from helicopters and airplanes. This same year, Wildlife Services aerial gunned approximately 200 more wolves in the Northern Rockies. "Wildlife Services" does not provide "services" to wildlife but rather it dishes out pain, mutilation, and death. Aerial gunning is just one of their many selected killing tools. Aerial gunning involves shooting animals from low-flying aircraft on private and public lands. The federal government (USDA -- Wildlife Services), states (Wyoming and South Dakota), and private individuals engage in these practices -- often at taxpayers' expense. Killing a coyote from the air costs between $185 and $805 per animal [1]. The ecological damage: priceless. Learn more
