Public opinion, the Leopold Report, and the reform of federal predator control policy

This paper explores the role of public opinion in a landmark shift in the federal predator control program. In 1963, the Leopold Committee recommended extensive reform in the federal predator control program, predicting that growing public support for the environmental movement would force such a move if the government did not initiate a change. In the years following the publication of the Leopold Report, the U.S. Division of Wildlife Services reformed its predator control program and tried to improve its public image. Meanwhile, both environmentalists and ranchers fought to control public opinion about the issue. The 1972 ban on predacides (poisons for predators) in federal predator control programs resulted as much from the environmentalists’ ability to control public opinion as from the changing scientific understanding of predators

Current and Future Status of Rodenticides and Predacides

I appreciate the opportunity to convey the current and future status of rodenticides and predacides at this workshop. According to the computer, the Agency has 2,888 products classified as vertebrate control agents. The Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act tends to clump all vertebrate pesticides as rodenticides. This includes fish toxicants such as TFM; bird toxicants and repellents such as Starlicide and Avitrol; dog repellents such as lemongrass oil; bat toxicants and repellents such as naphthalene; commensal rodent toxicants such as warfarin, diphacinone, bromadiolone, brodifacoum, and red squill; field use rodenticides for many species (e.g., prairie dogs, ground squirrels) using pesticides such as 1080, strychnine, zinc phosphide; predacides such as 1080 and sodium cyanide; and animal browsing repellents such as thirara and putrescent whole egg solids

Eighth Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings: Frontmatter & Contents

Uresk, Daniel W.; Schenbeck, Greg L.; Cefkin, Rose, technical coordinators. 1988. Eighth Great Plains wildlife damage control workshop proceedings. General Technical Report RM-15it. Fort Collins, CO: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Rocky Mountain Forest and Range Experiment Station; 231 p. [Listed also as Publication Ho. 121, Lincoln, NE: Great Plains Agricultural^ Council.] Abstract These proceedings consist of more than 40 presented papers on damage caused by many different animals. Panel presentations that followed two special sessions—one on prairie dogs and related small mammals and another on ways to enhance waterfowl production—are also included. In addition to information on mechanical and chemical control methods, the ecosystem processes involved are considered. Keywords: Prairie dogs, waterfowl, coyotes, rodents, bird repellents, predacides, rodenticide

Research Needs

The following research needs in wildlife damage control were suggested by workshop participants during the October 14 afternoon session. Damage assessment/distribution and magnitude of damage, and assessment techniques Urban problems Crop cultural practices Blackbirds in urban areas and grain crops Deer in crops Woodpecker repellents Bat toxicants Prairie dogs/single-dose toxicants Diseases Bait formulations, especially for pocket gophers Humane techniques Predacides, including the M-44 Training of students and professionals Attitudes of the public Gas cartridges Pigeon toxicants Predator and game management Predator and range management Antelope in relation to weed dispersal and to fences Relocation effects on populations Economics; cost-benefit Bird frightening techniques De-barking by mammals Seed protection using systemics Modelin
