The lawsuit, filed in New Mexico federal district court on October 8, 2020, seeks an updated environmental analysis of the statewide program, and for the agency to halt or curtail its killing program until such a complete analysis is performed.
Wildlife Services is a multimillion-dollar federal program that annually kills an average of 1.5 million native species nationally, per its own reports, under the guise of “wildlife management.” Wildlife Services relies upon taxpayer dollars for its killing campaign, often using costly methods such as “aerial gunning” (use of helicopters) to launch preemptive strikes on thousands of carnivores prior to any actual conflict with humans. Most of the killing responds to requests from the agriculture industry.
