Ranchers like to think of Wildlife Services <br />As a private club. In fact, it is a larger pawn <br />There for all who nature’s footprint on the lawn <br />Leaves feeling vulnerable and nervous. <br />. <br />Wildlife Services does not trap and relocate. <br />Its methods, like its mission, are meant to kill. <br />Yet neither reports that prove its lack of skill <br />Nor environmental cautions produce debate. <br /> <br />The program’s problems? Faulty dictums <br />That miss the interplay of wildlife populations, <br />And killing methods that cause the decimation <br />Of living things not even the intended victims. <br /> <br />Glad wolves and pumas are gone they may be, <br />But coyotes are unenthused about the agency.<br /><br />Chuck Toll<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/coyotes-and-wildlife-services-2/
