Everyone needs to file an oig complacent saying USDA is violating thir 1987 authorization by trapping urban rodents.
Call or pm me for details.
I fully support filing complaints against the USDA WS. Yes they have broken the law. When you break the actions of this rogue agency down by each violation they break thousands of laws that private citizens would be fined and or jailed for doing every year nationwide.
Most state laws created by the states have an exemption for the feds and all federal laws give WS exemptions. This alone needs to stop or someday we are all gonna wake up to hearing only our government can do anyhting with wildlife and the looney left will help them including all hunting and trapping.This is deeper then just what happens to an industry. We are just one of many dominoes that need not fall - screw the AR's and WS.
Most of the mission that USDA WS is not even needed and a duplication of an already strong, better informed & trained private wildlife control industry. The USDA WS is just a waste of federal funding and their mission can be fully privatized without any effect on the economy . The missions they perform will still be done and their employees with all of their great government trapping experience the opportunity to compete equally with all of us as sole owners or even large special purpose wildlife control companies.
The federal Gov has no business in the ADC business. USDA WS screws up everything they touch - coyote control, beaver control, pigeon control, etc. etc. etc., If there is a fur, nonfur or nongame species that needs control, let the states control and decide there own problems.
Any association that thinks they represent the private wildlife control industry must realize you do not have the right to take any right of private citizens who want to keep their business's trapping beaver, muskrat, nutria or any wildlife species other then the Chupacabra. Beaver trapping has been a occupation and profit opportunity of the private citizen long before the US Constitution was ever signed. No association has the right to represent and give away the rights of a private citizen to trap beaver to any government agency. Right now we have city people looking out for their own financial interests and they are more then willing to sell out every rural trapper in america today.
